Linux Kernel Live Patching Without Downtime
We examine how Linux servers stay online during critical security updates using live kernel patching, a technique that injects code changes into running memory without rebooting. Lucas and Luna break down the mechanics of kpatch and Ksplice, exploring how enterprises like Red Hat and Oracle maintain uptime while fixing zero-day vulnerabilities. You will learn why traditional reboots are becoming unacceptable for high-availability systems and what operational risks come with modifying the kernel while it runs.
