14 DAY TRIAL // CloudLinux's Mykola Naugolnyi announced the general availability of an updated kernel package for the enterprise-ready CloudLinux 7 operating system based on the freely distributed sources of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
CloudLinux is the operating system of choice for hosting providers and data centers, powering over 20 million websites. It's a super-platform designed for stability, security, and efficiency in shared hosting by isolating each occupant and giving them allocated server resources.
A new kernel version, tagged as build 3.10.0-427.36.1.lve1.4.26, has been announced earlier for those who are using the CloudLinux 7 release on their server infrastructures, and it's now available for installation from the updates-testing repository. It's been rebased on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7's OpenVZ rh7-3.10.0-327.36.1.vz7.18.7 kernel.
"New updated CloudLinux 7 kernel version 3.10.0-427.36.1.lve1.4.26 is available from our updates-testing repository. Changelog since kernel-3.10.0-427.36.1.lve1.4.25 include rebase to OVZ kernel rh7-3.10.0-327.36.1.vz7.18.7; CLKRN-72: fixed kernel crash that sometimes appeared during vfs_mount," reads the announcement.
Users are urged to update their systems as soon as possible
If you're using CloudLinux 7, you are urged to update the kernel packages to version 3.10.0-427.36.1.lve1.4.26 as soon as possible. To do that, all you need is a virtual console or a terminal emulator, and the following command. If you have CloudLinux's KernelCare live kernel patch technology, there's no need to reboot your systems.
yum install kernel-3.10.0-427.36.1.lve1.4.26.el7 kmod-lve-1.4-26-el7 --enablerepo=cloudlinux-updates-testing
CloudLinux OS is based on the OpenVZ kernel and intended to be fully compatible with upstream Red Hat Enterprise Linux and CentOS RPM packages.
