Late last year, the world got a good look at the challenges and pain associated with kernel maintenance required by cloud providers. A security vulnerability in the Xen hypervisor required immediate and unprecedented infrastructure updates and the following "great cloud reboot" impacted a huge swath of cloud providers - including portions of both Amazon Web Services and Rackspace - and the hundreds of thousands of customers running on that infrastructure.
