# TuxCare

The TuxCare services automate, simplify, and enhance Linux operations, giving organizations more flexibility in managing Linux distro choices and versions, significant maintenance cost reductions, and greatly enhanced security and compliance postures.

TuxCare, which is an expansion of the CloudLinux’s KernelCare and Extended Lifecycle Support brands, helps organizations take care of support, maintenance, and security for Enterprise Linux systems.

With TuxCare Live Patching Services, Linux kernels, libraries, databases, virtualizations and IoT devices receive automated security patches applied with zero downtime.

Using the TuxCare Extended Lifecycle Support services, you can migrate to the newest version of Linux at your own pace while maintaining protection from the common risks of running an end-of-life distro.

Enterprise Support for AlmaLinux provides a TuxCare-vetted repository of AlmaLinux updates with 16 years of support coverage. It also delivers an extended lifecycle with FIPS-compliant security patches for select AlmaLinux minor versions and helps avoid costly upfront support package fees with pay-as-you-go hourly support bundles.

Users requiring FIPS-certified AlmaLinux deployments can download and install our Community FIPS packages for AlmaLinux 9.2 (kernel and openssl) for free for non-commercial use. Commercial applications should use our Extended Security Updates product, which offers the full suite of five FIPS 140-3 modules (kernel, openssl, libcrypt, nss and gnutls), FIPS-compliant security updates, and technical support.
