| [07:41] <ducasse> good morning | |
| [11:50] <lotuspsychje> good afternoon | |
| [22:36] <tomreyn> kxsl: i don't want to promote those services in #ubuntu myself, and think it's not the right place, won't do it here either but if you have genuine questions (and don't just mean to point out potnetial problems) i'm happy to tell the little i know about it | |
| [22:36] <kxsl> fair enough | |
| [22:37] <kxsl> im not in a position to use it commercially myself, im just curious as the topic came up | |
| [22:38] <tomreyn> developing and maintaining kernel live patches involves a lot of manual work by experienced folks, which is why no one (to my knowledge) offers it free of charge | |
| [22:39] <tomreyn> canonoical offers this free usage tier though | |
| [22:40] <tomreyn> which can be nice if you want some level of additional protection during the time before you can orderly reboot a system | |
| [22:40] <tomreyn> there are other companies offering similar for ubuntu and other distros | |
| [22:41] <tomreyn> kxsl: ^ did you want to know anything else? | |
| [22:41] <kxsl> thanks, that's ok. ill look for the technical details later | |
| [22:42] <tomreyn> "kernel live patching" would be the genrric term / (partially) underlying technology. | |
| [22:42] <tomreyn> also kpatch, ksplice amongst other | |
| [22:43] <tomreyn> * kernelcare | |
| [22:43] <tomreyn> those last two are product names, i think | |
