KernelCare added support for AlmaLinux OS. This new linux distribution is a community driven project that intends to fill the gap left by the change in direction of CentOS, in terms of stability and support. It is a stable enterprise-grade server OS, with long support windows. Forever free and open-source, AlmaLinux OS is backed by CloudLinux and has a growing community gathering around it, helping guide it’s direction and strategy. Alma means soul in some latin-based languages and the name aims to celebrate the soul of linux – it’s users and community.
This KernelCare announcement adds to the growing list of software adding support for AlmaLinux OS as a first class distribution, not requiring any workarounds or changes to deployment/configuration scripts.
As of now, you can install KernelCare on AlmaLinux OS and receive security fixes with no downtime and no maintenance window requirement. Always available and always secure.
