Summary

Click below to sign up and get $200 of credit to try our products over 60 days! We are excited to announce the first phase of our Linux Kernel Management, which can now be found under the new settings icon on the droplet’s page. Currently, we pre-compile all of the kernels and do not yet support the import of kernels from a running droplet. This process is being managed for security reasons and provides kernels that we pre-compile for our supported base OSes, allowing customers to swap to new kernels due to several recent security vulnerability announcements. Our goal is to also allow customers to import kernels from their droplets and provide full grub support in the future. We are launching this feature with support for Fedora 17 (x32/x64) and Ubuntu 12.10 (x32/x64) initially.
