CloudLinux announced as part of its TuxCare security services the launch of QEMUCare Live Patching Service for Linux systems running as virtualization hosts through QEMU, the open source emulator and hardware virtualization platform.

"Patching virtualization host systems is a challenge faced by IT security and operations teams because of the impact on performance and availability for the virtual machines running on those systems," said Jim Jackson, president and chief revenue officer, CloudLinux.

Security updates are deployed almost immediately as they are made available, reducing the system exposure time to security vulnerabilities.

QEMUCare Live Patching operates through a similar mechanism to other TuxCare live patching services, like KernelCare Enterprise and LibraryCare, where updates are applied without any disruption to the running processes.

TuxCare services are the umbrella offering of the CloudLinux family of enterprise support services which include live patching for critical components in the Linux stack, from the kernel all the way to widely-used shared libraries.

With TuxCare Linux Support Services, regular patches and updates are delivered for all components of enterprise Linux systems, as well as 24/7 incident support - even when systems are past their End-of-Life.
