Security News > 2021 > February > All grown up: Raspberry Pis running Ubuntu added to IoT patching service KernelCare

CloudLinux has added the Raspberry Pi to its KernelCare patching service, although only if you're running Ubuntu.

The arrival of the service is a recognition of the diminutive computer's presence in the IoT world, where implementations tend to be more on the appliance side and ongoing security updates are not always applied.

The consequences of a failure to patch a connected IoT device can range from inconvenient to catastrophic.

Oracle's Ksplice will also update critical components, affording Linux fans with pockets deep enough for Oracle Linux Premier Support the ability to dodge downtime when the patch fairy beckons.

KernelCare's take on the Raspberry Pi is free for enthusiasts, but commercial users are expected to pay a fee.

Operating system-wise, Ubuntu Focal Fossa for the 64-bit ARM platform is supported.
