THE LINUX FOUNDATION PROJECTS

KernelCI Service Providers

The KernelCI ecosystem benefits from experienced service providers who bring deep expertise in Linux kernel testing, continuous integration, and distributed test automation. These organizations offer professional services to help companies and projects implement, expand, and optimize their kernel testing infrastructure.

Why Work with KernelCI Services Providers?

Professional services providers bring valuable expertise to organizations looking to:

  • Implement KernelCI infrastructure for internal kernel development and testing
  • Scale testing capabilities across diverse hardware platforms and architectures
  • Reduce time-to-market by catching regressions early in the development cycle
  • Integrate with existing CI/CD pipelines and development workflows
  • Establish best practices for distributed kernel testing and automation
  • Contribute to upstream kernel quality through comprehensive testing

Service providers actively contribute to the KernelCI project and maintain close collaboration with the Linux kernel community, ensuring their services align with upstream standards and best practices.
