Ubuntu Livepatch
October 19, 2016
So, we finally released the thing I've been working on for the last six months at Canonical - a live kernel patch service, that allows users to put off rebooting until it's convenient, without being at risk from recently-found vulnerabilities. It's targeted at servers, but desktop users can benefit from it as well.
I've been heavily invested in the project, and it's really great to have it out finally.
Here's some links to stories about it:
