SUSE Labs Conference 2020 - Updates on libpulp and userspace live-patching
Channel: SUSE Labs
Date: 2020-10-07

Thanks to the folks at #bigbluebutton for a great conferencing tool!

Userspace live-patching allows the patching of processes. The goal of userspace live-patching is similar to that of kernel live-patching, but instead of avoiding machine reboots, it avoids process restarting. This is specially useful for web servers, so that they don't loose sessions, and database servers, so that they don't have to restore potentially large database from disk.

The presentation will show the current state of libpulp, the framework for userspace livepatching. Ideally, the presentation will contain a live demo (or two) showing a live-patch being applied, so that viewers can get a grasp of the available tools and of their integration with the system (SUSE SLE).
