In this episode of The Linux Podcast with Fexingo, Lucas and Luna explore the mechanics of live kernel patching. They examine how major infrastructure providers maintain uptime without rebooting servers during critical security updates. The conversation drills into the technical challenges of code hot-swapping in the Linux kernel, focusing on specific tools like kpatch and kgraft. Listeners will learn why traditional reboot cycles are becoming a bottleneck for high-availability systems and how dynamic reconfiguration works under the hood.
