summary

Describes migrating a fleet from Ubuntu LTS to Debian testing as a rolling release, with automation for weekly upgrades, puppet-managed config and health checks that scale to >5,000 hosts per engineer. Explains building Flatcar Container Linux (coreos descendant) with a read-only /usr and no package manager, and shows how containerized apps bypass distro updates, creating a need for tooling to track and patch vulnerable images. Argues Kubernetes needs distro‑level integrations and that Helm helps but is not a complete solution.
