Tips
Updating site’s core with migrate taskexample: create new platform Drupal 7.2 and migrate from D 7.0 to D 7.2 platformworks for major versions migrations too (Ægir also checks if modules are available for destination version)
Clone site and perform module updates (you keep the production site safe)

Host distributions!Distributions are Drupal’s packaged profiles for specific use.
Acquia 6 & 7

Make you own “distributions” with favorite modules or even installation profile.
