Contact UsConventionally, patching the QEMU/KVM hypervisors that support OpenStack, ProxMox, or OpenNebula would involve a reboot or migration of your virtual machine to another running hypervisor.
But delaying patches to coordinate a migration or reboot is leaving your systems vulnerable, and your end-users may be noticing the service disruption involved.
TuxCare’s QEMUCare rebootless live patching solution enables cloud providers, virtual private server (VPS) hosts, or any other organization with QEMU-based virtualization systems to automate their infrastructure patching without needing to orchestrate an inconvenient reboot or disrupt virtual tenants’ systems.
We need your knowledge! Complete TuxCare’s annual survey on Linux and open source to be entered to win one of many prizes (up to $500)! Get started here.
