Automated Linux Ubuntu patching = Livepatch

18th April 2026

Livepatch is available free for up to 5 machines, for personal use, or evaluation purposes. (Ubuntu you forgot free for Education, c’mon work with me)

Otherwise for Production, it is included in Ubuntu Pro. usually fine as Mgt wants a support contract for everything production anyway.
