I have a contract where as part of my duties involve maintaining 5 different Linux servers (both Ubuntu and CentOS). An unwritten aspect of my duties is to periodically educate some people there about certain technical topics. This month's topic has to do with the updating of their Linux servers. For over two years I've been quietly updating the servers almost on a daily basis. As these servers are remote, I'd ssh in and do what I needed to do.
Now all of a sudden, someone there is wanting me to document the updates and how the updates might affect our software before I apply them, etc etc. Tell me if I am wrong, but I have explained to them this is not a reasonable request. However, one person in particular with a big business mainframe mentality can be very stubborn about things such as this. So I could use a little help. If someone can direct me to a document or article explaining in non technical terms what the common practices are for updating and/or maintaining a Linux server I would greatly appreciate it. (If only a technical document is available, I'll take it.) I was hoping to find a "Linux Journal" type of article, but have been unsuccessful in finding such a thing. My goal is to have a reference that I can pass to my contract that can be read and understood by someone with very limited Linux systems knowledge.
