Does the providers admin team do it? It is done through whatever control panel is used? Do you have to request it or is it automatic? |
Assuming you're talking in general, then it's usually the end user/customer. It's also usually through whatever is the norm for the distro (yum, up2date, dselect, etc.). Bigger hosts tend to have local mirrors to make it much faster, but the onus is on you, generally.
