NS8 updates will also take care of OS updates?

[NLS (Nick Sardelianos)]

AFAIK this is the case with NS7.
I understand NS8 is a bit more “hovering over” underlying OS.

What is the recommended practice for the upcoming NS8?
Any difference if using pre-made images?

It’s up to the system administrator to choose how the operating system updates are applied.

NS8 automated updates

OS scheduled updates can be manually configured as documented at the links cited by Marc. Automatic (scheduled) updates of NS8 core and apps are planned but not yet implemented. Managed updates will be probably a part of Nethesis subscription/enterprise paid plans, like those for NS7.
