One important thing to consider is the life cycle of a kernel version – if the version you are currently using is approaching its end of life, no more bug fixes will be provided after that date.īefore upgrading your kernel, make sure to note the version of the kernel currently installed using the following ~]$ uname -sr

Additionally, updating our kernel will help us to leverage new kernel functions and to protect ourselves from vulnerabilities that have been discovered in previous versions. With new devices and technology coming out periodically, it is important to keep our kernel up to date if we want to make the most of out them. Upgrade your KVM kernel to the latest stable version on RHEL 7, CentOS 7 and Fedora - includes BBR Support
