How to Upgrade to Mysql 5.6.0+ safely?

RE: How to Upgrade to Mysql 5.6.0+ safely?
Yes, I mentioned the reason within the first 2 sentences of my post. I don't know what Solr has to do with this, I'm just looking to install Magento 2.0 which requires Mysql 5.6+.

So my question is just how Sentora manages the server. If we upgrade the software running on the server which is part of LAMP, will this break Sentora? Does Sentora have a feature to upgrade things so that you don't break it?

Well, anyway, I went ahead and created a new instance on digitalocean using a backup of my server. Then I ran the following commands:

apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
apt-get install mysql-server-5.6

This appeared to work just fine and mysql was upgraded to mysql 5.6.

I can confirm I can still log into the sentora control panel, I can create a database, create a user and assign to the database, and the websites still load fine. So does this mean all is well?

Is there a way that I can test the integrity of the Sentora install to ensure that I didn't break anything?

Thanks
