Drupal recents security updates resulted in many hours of work for different professionals involved in maintenance of Drupal websites from developers to operations teams.

New Drupal 8 release cycle is also requiring organisations to spend more time guaranteeing that their websites are following last minor core release so their sites are updated and ready to receive new features and security updates.

Nevertheless, even with the increasing required effort, we still don’t have an easy way to support automatic updates in Drupal core but options start to appear.

In this session I will talk about different possible alternatives that can minimize the effort to automatically update Drupal while still maintaining best practices in all the required phases.
