I just upgraded my OpenBSD's from `7.3` to `7.4` by following the unattended upgrade guide:
[https://www.openbsd.org/faq/upgrade74.html](https://www.openbsd.org/faq/upgrade74.html)
```shell
$ doas installboot sd0 # Update the bootloader (not for every upgrade required)
$ doas sysupgrade # Update all binaries (including Kernel)
```
`sysupgrade` downloaded and upgraded to the next release and rebooted the system. After the reboot, I run:
> Note to myself: I have to undo the `/var/www` symlink before upgrading, and re-establishing the symlink afterwards again. This is due to disk space constraings on my setup!
```shell
$ doas sysmerge # Update system configuration files
$ doas pkg_add -u # Update all packages
$ doas reboot # Just in case, reboot one more time
```
That's it! Took me around 5 minutes in total! No issues, only these few comands, only 5 minutes! It just works! No problems, no conflicts, no tons (actually none) config file merge conflicts.
I followed the same procedure the previous times and never encountered any difficulties with any OpenBSD upgrades.
I have seen upgrades of other Operating Systems either take a long time or break the system (which takes manual steps to repair). That's just one of many reasons why I love OpenBSD! There appear never to be any problems. It just gets its job done!

BTW: are you looking for an opinionated OpenBSD VM hoster? OpenBSD Amsterdam may be for you. They rock (I am having a VM there, too)!
