What Is KernelCare? Keep Your Linux Server Secure Without Reboots

Keeping your Linux server up to date is essential for security — but applying kernel patches usually requires a reboot. And in today’s world of 24/7 uptime, even a few minutes of downtime can mean lost revenue or service disruption.
That’s why system administrators and hosting providers rely on KernelCare — a powerful tool that delivers live kernel patching without requiring reboots.


What Is KernelCare?

KernelCare is a live-patching service developed by CloudLinux that automatically applies security updates to the Linux kernel without rebooting the system. It’s ideal for web servers, cloud infrastructure, and enterprise environments where uptime and security are critical.


Why the Kernel Matters

The kernel is the core of your operating system. If it has a security vulnerability, your entire system is at risk. Kernel updates are released frequently — especially after the discovery of new exploits like Spectre, Meltdown, or Dirty COW.

Traditionally, applying these patches means:

  • Scheduling maintenance windows

  • Rebooting the server

  • Accepting service downtime

With KernelCare, that’s no longer necessary.


Key Benefits of KernelCare

🔁 No Reboots Required

Patches are applied on the fly — your applications, services, and users remain uninterrupted.

🔒 Instant Security Updates

KernelCare checks for new patches every 4 hours and applies them automatically.

Minimal Performance Impact

Patching happens in the background with almost zero CPU or memory overhead.

📈 Improved Uptime

Say goodbye to scheduling late-night maintenance or worrying about customer complaints.

🔧 Supports Multiple Distributions

Works with popular Linux distros like:

  • CentOS

  • RHEL

  • AlmaLinux

  • CloudLinux OS


Who Should Use KernelCare?

How It Works (In Simple Terms)

You stay protected — and your users never notice a thing.
