Before making any updates to the production environment, the best course of action is to perform the update in a development or testing environment. Upgrading to version 3.7, which is a minor update, is generally less risky and should be tested first to ensure compatibility and stability before considering the major update to version 4.1.References: The process of updating and maintaining servers, including the validation of updates in a non-production environment, is part of the technical operations management covered in CompTIA Cloud+.
