It is the main layer between the OS and hardware, and it helps with process and memory management, file systems, device control and networking.
KernelCare is a service that provides automated kernel security updates to your running kernel alleviating the need to reboot the server.

Usually, the following error occurs in Plesk when trying to update kernel via KernelCare:
