One of the big news of the vSphere 8.0.3 (8.0 Update 3) version if the ability of live patch ESXi without reboot the host and without migrate the workloads!

With the new Live Patching capability in ESXi, customers can address critical bugs in the virtual machine execution environment  and apply patches to all components without reboot or VM evacuation.

Virtual machines are Fast-Suspend-Resumed (FSR) as part of the host remediation process, for this reason this new feature is not compatible with some specific cases (like VM protected by vSphere FT or VM with PCI passthough).

CentOS Linux was a freely available, community-supported Linux distribution that was developed, distributed, and maintained by the CentOS Project community contributors. It was derived based from Red Hat Enterprise Linux sources and released in alignment with the Red Hat Enterprise Linux production release cycle. For this reason was a great alternative to Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

Note that CentOS Linux is not a Red Hat product and does not have Red Hat support.

But in 2020, The CentOS Project, in coordination with Red Hat, announced that it would shift full investment to CentOS Stream, the upstream development platform for upcoming Red Hat Enterprise Linux releases. That mean that will be no more alligned to the production version of Red Hat Enterprise.

Naturalmente, l’immutabilità è una funzionalità chiave importante, ma non implica automaticamente che la soluzione sia sicura (o che sia automaticamente più sicura).

Può dare un falso senso di sicurezza se non implementato correttamente. In caso di configurazione errata, è possibile eliminare dati apparentemente immutabili, ad esempio manipolando le impostazioni di data/ora sul dispositivo di archiviazione per aggirare i meccanismi di applicazione della conservazione.
