Title:
[MIR] linux-aws
Status in linux-aws package in Ubuntu:
Fix Committed
Bug description:
We would like to request the linux-aws kernel package be promoted to
Main for 16.04.
[Availability]
The linux-aws kernel package is currently available in Universe for
16.04. It successfully builds against amd64 which is the target arch
to be supported.
[Rationale]
The plan is to switch the Ubuntu AMI’s to default to the linux-aws
kernel, which will have widespread impact for all newly deployed
instances in AWS. We, the Canonical Kernel Team, will stand behind
and fully support this kernel. It makes sense for this to be promoted
to Main.
[Security]
The linux-aws kernel is based on the stock linux v4.4 based GA Ubuntu
kernel available in 16.04. Linux-aws will naturally inherit all
existing security support and maintenance provided for the stock linux
v4.4 based GA Ubuntu kernel in 16.04. The linux kernel package is
already in Main.
[Quality assurance]
The linux-aws kernel will undergo the same 3 week kernel SRU process
and follow the same SRU requirements for proposed changes. This
include bug verification and Kernel SRU testing.
[Dependencies]
None
[Standards compliance]
The linux-aws kernel adheres to the same level of standards presented
for the existing linux Ubuntu kernel.
[Maintenance]
The Canonical Kernel Team (~canonical-kernel-team) will commit to full
security maintenance and support of linux-aws for the duration of the
16.04 LTS release.
[Background information]
See above.
