There's enough issues that can come up with a distributed database that can make it hard to pinpoint problems. In an ideal world, every machine would be completely identical. Don't set yourself up for fail. Pin the OS & all packages to specific versions.

Any issues or concerns? If there are problems, how do you handle OS upgrades? Sean R.
