Preserving Services with Faster Kernel Reboots Using Kexec

The Challenge
#

Kernel updates require system reboots, causing service downtime and disrupting critical operations.

The Solution
#

Implemented Kexec for seamless kernel switching and Live Kernel Patching for dynamic bug fixes, eliminating the need for full reboots.

Key Achievement
#

Reduced boot times by 50% and achieved zero-downtime kernel updates, ensuring continuous service availability.
