As aforementioned on our maintenance notifications page, we are presently conducting an update to the kernel of all our Panelbox servers.
For those who are less familiar with the term “kernel”, it is a fundamental part of the operating system that manages server resources and allows the different components, either software or hardware, to communicate between each other.
The kernel udpate is primordial for us for the following reasons:
- It ensures optimal security. An updated kernel ensures that security issues that have been discovered in previous versions are resolved.
- It enables us the use of new functionalities. In our case, this update allows us to fully use the capacities of the latest version of CloudLinux which is used on all our servers.
- It ensures optimal server efficiency. An updated kernel also allows us to provide you with greater server stability and oftentimes better performances.
- It provides us with better control. This update allows us to better manage the shared resources, which includes disk I/O usage.
- It allows us to standardize our infrastructures. This way, we make sure that the level of service is constant and fair for all our customers.
If you have questions in regards to this update, do not hesitate to contact the Funio team!
