Az Ubuntu immár a HWE kernelekhez is elérhetővé tette a Livepatch szolgáltatást

Címkék

Az LTS kernelek után a HWE kernelek felhasználói is élvezhetik a Livepatch (kerneljavítások telepítése röptében, reboot nélkül) szolgáltatást:

You have been telling us how much you love Livepatch’s ability to fix your kernel’s high and critical vulnerabilities at run-time, and how it significantly reduces your unplanned reboots. And many of you have requested that we make it available on Hardware Enablement (HWE) kernels, alongside the Long-Term Release (LTS) kernels we already support.

We’ve listened to your feedback and are pleased to announce that Livepatch will now be available on HWE kernels. This will debut with the release of kernel version 6.2, which will initially accompany Ubuntu’s interim release of 23.04 Lunar Lobster, in April 2023. Thereafter, it will be made accessible as an HWE kernel for the 22.04 LTS release, Jammy Jellyfish, starting July 2023.

This change means that you’ll be able to keep your kernel updated and secure with Livepatch, regardless of which kernel you choose to run with your Ubuntu LTS release.

What is the Ubuntu HWE kernel?

The Ubuntu LTS enablement, or Hardware Enablement (HWE), stack provides the newer kernel and X support for existing Ubuntu LTS releases. That stack can be enabled manually, but may also be pre-enabled with an Ubuntu LTS release.

Ajjaj, az az élvezet csúcsának tűnik, mármint a livepatch. Végül is nem vagyok ellene, de szerintem nem olyan killer feature, mint előadják. Szerveren azért jól jöhet.
