TuxCare Announces Support for AlmaLinux 9.2
Thanks to TuxCare, AlmaLinux 9.2 (and soon version 9.6) now enjoys years of ongoing patching and compliance.
TuxCare has announced that its KernelCare service has been extended to AlmaLinux 9.2 (with version 9.6 to be added soon), thereby making it the only FIPS 140-3 validated distribution (which adds years of rebootless patching).
Although some distributions are capable of patching the Linux kernel without reboots, those reboots aren't avoided but, rather, delayed. TuxCare KernelCare removes the necessity for reboots altogether. As well, TuxCare KernelCare offers up 100 percent vulnerability coverage (which dwarfs the 5-10 percent offered by other live patching solutions).
According to Michael Canavan, Chief Revenue Officer at TuxCare, "This new KernelCare service for AlmaLinux is TuxCare’s latest step in ensuring that enterprise-grade reliability and security are continually available for the growing number of AlmaLinux users.” Canavan added, “We’re pleased to bring a rock-solid path for compliance and performance to the AlmaLinux community.”
This comes on top of TuxCare announcing the release of its new TuxCare FedRAMP Bundle for AlmaLinux, which provides a streamlined path toward meeting strict compliance requirements. TuxCare FedRAMP was designed to eliminate many of the hurdles associated with FedRAMP's stringent security, cryptography, and reporting standards.
