They first figure out who is going to add the patch or security fix, the Cloud vendor (AWS, GCP, Azure, etc.) or the customer themselves.
-
Then, they figure out whether the fix can be applied on-the-fly or whether the service needs to go down, be patched up and then be spun up again.
-
Once the above factors are clear, the team can make a plan to help the customer to avoid any down time or service disruptions, through adding redundancies or other techniques.

bash script.shwould differ from./script.sh, while Kartik believed there would be no difference since the kernel would interpret the shebang. -
