Ha, that's not the most inspirational ending.
I would have hoped that stability doesn't even need to be mentioned, considering that this is now one of the default images on AWS. I don't think anyone would choose this kernel if they thought there might be a higher chance of it crashing and taking down their server.
- alexchamberlain 10y agoI think this could have been communicated slightly better; I'm sure if you rebuild your VM regularly, you'll get all the same patches.
- IceyEC 10y agoOr even doing a reboot after an `apt update` that comes with a kernel update. The livepatch bit only updates the running kernel anyway

- sciurus 10y agoI think in this context by "stability" they mean "not rebooting" https://www.ubuntu.com/server/livepatch https://www.ubuntu.com/server/livepatch is a commercial service that can apply security patches to a running kernel.
- nathan_f77 10y agoOh, you're right. Whoops, should have paid more attention!
