  • The BIND DNS server has already been deprecated and removed from Plesk for Windows.
    If a Plesk for Windows server is still using BIND, the upgrade to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.70 will be unavailable until the administrator switches the DNS server to Microsoft DNS. We strongly recommend transitioning to Microsoft DNS within the next 6 weeks, before the Plesk 18.0.70 release.
  • The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.

Question How does Plesk handle OS updates?

Hi
This is a general question - I am trying to deepen my understanding. The question does not relate to a specific bug.

I understand that Plesk (if enabled) uses Yum to get system updates. This system may also update third-party components e.g. Apache or PHP. However; it seems it does not update the OS kernel. Plesk components are installed/updated separately through the installer.

So as I understand it the OS updates might be "software enhancements". Perhaps? Looking through a list on the RedHat site an example of an enhancement might be how SSL Certificates are managed. But; if the underlying OS changes, how does Plesk keep up to date with that e.g. take advantage of new OS enhancements and/or not break if something changes?

Thanks -
