SOFTWARE OVERVIEW

About KernelCare.

  • Linux hosting administrators
  • Shared hosting providers
  • Businesses maintaining hosting infrastructure

KernelCare applies supported security patches to a running Linux kernel. This can reduce the need for a reboot for covered patches, which is useful when a server hosts customer workloads that are difficult to interrupt.

Live patching is only part of maintenance. Applications and unsupported kernel changes still need attention. KernelCare is included with the LicenseCage cPanel and CloudLinux packages, so check those services before ordering a standalone license.
