With Oracle Linux Ksplice specifically, we have organizations looking for minimum downtime. We're able to apply hot-patching at any time; once we've proven they're tested, ready to go, we don't need to take downtime to apply them.
Oracle Linux offers excellent stability and security, making it a reliable choice for deployments. Features like Ksplice enable hot-patching without downtime. The system ensures seamless integration with platforms like Red Hat Linux and performs well in scalability. However, kernel updates need improvement, especially on non-Linux systems, and security requires enhancements. Managing upgrades can be complex, and rising licensing costs prompt some to consider alternatives despite its easy setup and consistent support.
