Hi, there
In my putty is appearing:
Authenticating with public key Welcome to Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS (GNU/Linux 4.4.0-138-generic x86_64)

212 packages can be updated. 15 updates are security updates.
New release ‘18.04.1 LTS’ available. Run ‘do-release-upgrade’ to upgrade to it
May i just do this upgrade… or are there more implications? Thanks in advance.

Hey friend,
Great question, you were right to ask first. If this is a production server, I would not upgrade from Ubuntu 16 to 18 in place. I would do “apt-get update && apt-get upgrade -y” to update your existing packages, but that is the furthest I would go.
To migrate to Ubuntu 18, I would create a new server and ensure that it was set up properly for my application, then I would migrate my application to it. This has the least implications on a production server.
