+### Live patching for ELS systems 
+
+TuxCare provides KernelCare live patching for **Ubuntu 18.04 ELS** and **CentOS 7 ELS** systems. [KernelCare](https://docs.tuxcare.com/live-patching-services/) is a product that provides security patches for a range of popular Linux kernels that can be installed without rebooting the system. It can be further enhanced with LibCare providing live security patches for critical shared libraries – openssl and glibc. Updating both the kernel and these libraries requires a system reboot while updating other packages does not. Using ELS, KernelCare and LibCare together provides comprehensive protection for your entire system without reboots and downtime.     
+
+You can easily add KernelCare to your ELS systems and start live patching them. You can also add ELS to systems already using KernelCare's live patching. Both ways, there's no need for system reboots or disruptions.
+
+Please note that if you are using KernelCare on the system that will soon reach its end-of-life date, you will be able to continue using it after this date without subscribing to ELS. In this scenario, you will [still receive](https://docs.tuxcare.com/live-patching-services/#kernel-patching-lifetime) live kernel patches, but won’t receive security updates for other operating system packages which are delivered by ELS. At the same time, if you choose to uninstall KernelCare from your Ubuntu 18.04 ELS or CentOS 7 ELS systems and subscribe these systems to ELS, all previously applied KernelCare patches will be removed. Consequently, the systems will start getting updates only from the ELS repository.
