We at CloudLinux are on a mission to make Linux secure, stable and manageable and system administrators’ life feels like a walk in the park. And we think that the task of reducing the time between upstream kernel releases aligns with our mission.
So, we set a goal to provide as short a delay between upstream kernel releases as possible. And here I’d like to highlight our achievements going forward to this goal.
The two latest releases of CloudLinux OS Shared 8 were delivered with a short delay between upstream releases of RHEL/CentOS.
| CentOS kernel | CloudLinux OS kernel | Delay | |
| Kernel | kernel-4.18.0-305.12.1.el8_4 | kernel-4.18.0-305.12.1 and kmodlve 2.0-36 | Six days |
| Date | August 11, 2021 | August 17, 2021 |
| CentOS kernel | CloudLinux OS kernel | Delay | |
| Kernel | kernel-4.18.0-305.10.2.el8_4 | kernel-4.18.0-305.10.2 | Three days |
| Date | July 20, 2021 | July 23, 2021 |
We intend to further improve and optimize the process of including the latest upstream updates to the CloudLinux kernels.
