In other words, Canonical and Amazon Web Services (AWS) partner to deliver best-in-breed cloud support by allowing AWS users to purchase the Ubuntu Advantage (UA) Virtual Guest package, which promised to deliver the professional support needed to be successful in the cloud. The announcement was made today, November 28, 2016, as part of Amazon’s AWS re:Invent 2016 conference dedicated to cloud experts around the globe. We believe that those of you who will attempt to purchase Canonical’s Ubuntu Advantage Virtual Guest professional support package via the AWS marketplace need to know all of its benefits. As such, we’re informing you that you’ll get access to Canonical’s Livepatch Service for rebootless kernel upgrades for your Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (Xenial Xerus) images using the long-term supported Linux 4.4 kernel.
