I guess my comment was a bit misleading, what I meant was the entire sysop of having a single node (which is what I have) running smoothly. I mainly work development so at times having to tinker with the OS, keeping things up to date (including GL), secure, manage logs, etc can be quite time consuming.

I do remember the first time I have a bit of a meltdown with the stage upgrade procedure. Granted the same thing can be said of any upgrade, you follow steps toward latest and greatest. But it was a bit of a job to get that up to date from the image provided by Vultr.
