About TuxCare

Our flagship live patching solution, KernelCare Enterprise,  was launched in 2014, enabling automated patch deployment without reboots or downtime – and has grown substantially since then. Based on customer demand, we’ve added integrations to popular vulnerability scanners, reporting and automation tools, and an improved ePortal patch server to apply rebootless patches to servers that don’t have access to the internet.

In 2018, we added live patching for connected devices in Internet of Things (IoT) environments with KernelCare for IoT. In 2020, with our customers asking us to add automated live patching for other critical components, like shared libraries, we also created KernelCare+ (now called LibCare), which delivers rebootless patches to shared libraries, like OpenSSL and glibc.

Then, to support our customers who needed security updates for end-of-life operating systems, we launched Extended Lifecycle Support (ELS), which delivers patches for end-of-life distributions and software languages, including CentOS, Ubuntu, Oracle Linux, PHP, and Python.

In 2021, we found ourselves expanding our security coverage yet again in the form of adding a live patching solution for even more critical Linux components, like QEMUCare for virtualization systems. With our family of live patching solutions, our customers can now deliver automated, rebootless patches to all popular Linux distributions, shared libraries, virtualization systems, and IoT devices.

Recently, with the rise in popularity of AlmaLinux as an easy replacement for CentOS and a community-wide demand for a commercial support option for AlmaLinux, TuxCare decided to launch Enterprise Support for AlmaLinux. With Enterprise Support for AlmaLinux, users receive a commercial AlmaLinux repository as well as optional extensions for live patching, painless compliance, and pay-as-you-go hourly support bundles.
