Eliminating Security Reboot Downtime in Critical Infrastructure

High-severity Linux kernel vulnerabilities (such as Dirty COW, Baron Samedit, and speculative execution side-channels) require immediate patching. On production web clusters, rebooting servers disrupts active WebSocket connections, flushes in-memory Redis caches, and causes brief service degradations. Canonical Livepatch injects patched kernel symbols into memory while the system runs, achieving 100% security compliance with zero reboots.
