Debian considering automated upgrades

A fairly nice Ansible role that installs and configures unattended-upgrades for Debian and Ubuntu: https://github.com/jnv/ansible-role-unattended-upgrades.git

Ansible is lightweight compared to Puppet/Chef/Salt etc - only requires SSH and Python on target server (and you can bootstrap to install Python if needed), and is easy to learn since its scripts are executed sequentially. See http://docs.ansible.com/
