Why each option
When performing multiple updates on a production system, it is best practice to apply only one change at a time to enable accurate troubleshooting and facilitate easy rollback if issues occur.
Updating multiple components in a specific order without isolating changes makes it difficult to diagnose which update caused a problem if something goes wrong.

On a production system, implementing one change at a time is the best practice for updates. This allows the administrator to isolate any issues that arise to a specific update, makes troubleshooting much easier, and enables a clear rollback plan if an update causes instability or failure.
