Generally, when the server gets any kernel level updates or repository level updates by the upstream providers such as Almalinux, Rocky Linux, Debian, etc., you must reboot the server to install the updates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are few third-party solutions available in the market, such as KernelCare, which works with the KVM-based VPSs or Dedicated Servers. KernerlCare offers the real-time patching of kernel-level updates without rebooting the VPS or Dedicated Server manually. Now you might be confused; what is KVM? Well, it is one type of virtualization. We will cover the basic introduction of major virtualization KVM, OpenVZ, along with Dedicated Server.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"types_of_platforms\"><\/span>Types of Platforms<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are three different services that we offer that deal with potential reboots.

This means that KVM (Cloud) can require kernel updates in tandem with the yum repository updates by the upstream vendor as it has its Kernel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re having cPanel\/WHM server, at the of system update you most likely to see notification at the top right corner something like &#8220;You must reboot the server to apply software updates.&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"474\" src=\"https:\/\/www.knownhost.com\/kb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/whm-update-reboot-notification-1024x474.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5412\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.knownhost.com\/kb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/whm-update-reboot-notification-1024x474.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.knownhost.com\/kb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/whm-update-reboot-notification-300x139.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.knownhost.com\/kb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/whm-update-reboot-notification-768x355.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.knownhost.com\/kb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/whm-update-reboot-notification.jpg 1055w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>As we earlier mentioned, kernel updates can be avoided through services such as Kernelcare, which implement &#8216;live-patching&#8217; to update the kernel without dealing with the downtime of a reboot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"openvz\"><\/span>OpenVZ<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>OpenVZ is a containerization-based platform. This system shares its kernel with the host node (The server it resides on). Because of this, these servers don&#8217;t require kernel updates, so when an update does occur, this is typically due to yum repository updates provided by upstream vendors such as CentOS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These servers won&#8217;t receive any reboot notification emails. They&#8217;ll only get the cPanel &#8216;reboot required&#8217; message in WHM due to reboots for system-related services(such as systemd, dbus, etc.).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>cPanel does this by polling\/querying the &#8216;needs-restarting&#8217; command, then generates this message in WHM based on its output.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"dedicated_server\"><\/span>Dedicated Server<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Dedicated servers are stand-alone physical hardware.
