New TuxCare KernelCare Support for AlmaLinux with FIPS Brings Years of Ongoing Patching and Compliance

PALO ALTO, CA, UNITED STATES, June 5, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- TuxCare, a global innovator in securing open source, today announced that it now offers its KernelCare service for AlmaLinux 9.2 and soon 9.6, making AlmaLinux the only FIPS 140-3 validated distribution with years of rebootless patching.

Unlike live patching tools from other vendors, KernelCare for AlmaLinux does not simply delay the inevitable reboot, it removes the necessity altogether. It also offers up to 100% vulnerability coverage, compared to the mere 5–10% patched by alternative live patching solutions for other distributions.

Especially important for organizations with strict uptime and security requirements, such as those providing cloud services for U.S. government agencies under FedRAMP, the new KernelCare support for FIPS-validated AlmaLinux versions addresses the important need for operational continuity and timely vulnerability remediation.

“This new KernelCare service for AlmaLinux is TuxCare’s latest step in ensuring that enterprise-grade reliability and security is continually available for the growing number of AlmaLinux users,” said Michael Canavan, Chief Revenue Officer at TuxCare. “We’re pleased to bring a rock-solid path for compliance and performance to the AlmaLinux community.”

It’s designed to eliminate the hurdles associated with FedRAMP’s strict security, cryptography, and reporting standards.
