Here's the response I got:
systems running Oracle Linux. If you would like to purchase support for
other RHEL-based systems you should contact Oracle Linux Support
directly
(http://www.oracle.com/us/technologies/linux/OracleLinuxSupport/index.html).
While we no longer provide this service we have not dropped support for
any distributions for our existing customers.

I used the "cost calculator" on the link they provided and a single server with 8 cores and 5 or more virtual guests is $1,199/year. 2 servers would be $2,398/year.
Mother of Oracles!
@KuJoe
Unless I am doing 30$ for 128Mb, I am not going to get ksplice. However anyone has experience with kexec??
That's pathetic. God damn I hate corporate takeovers.
But gotta love that Pre-Oracle account with 6 server subscriptions I've been letting run on without use for almost a year O_O
Ebay...here I come..
@PAD Want to sell your account ? :P
Sure, 50% off.. lets say...599$/year!
Haha.
Okay, got one of my accounts recovered.
I have a lifetime account, I think I worked out a bug in their system ages ago when it first came out which allowed me to take advantage of this.
I have a permanent access key which I will be willing to sell for the handsome price of 999 cookies, shipped directly to Russia, milk does not need to be included.
Muhahahahaha, I love corporate takeovers!
@PAD do you accept Chips Ahoy !
COOOOOOOOKIEEEEEEEEEEEE

@PAD how about pies?
@halfeatenpie i'm starting to wonder where your nick came from :P ?
@djvdorp its from pies.
Its always from pies.
The Pie is the Alpha, and the Omega.
If you take the kslc from ksplice you get pie.
Coincidence?
Nope, the Pie is in everything.

I'm made out of pie.
Free for Oracle Linux, Ubuntu and Fedora

Actually, the Pie is the Pi.
Too much pie is hurting my head, how is that possible?
Try running the script HalfEaten.py
You can't just rename udp.pl to anything you want
Yes it runs on my OVZ nodes. Like others have said, prevents hacks, but does not add features so occasionally a reboot can be necessary.
To be honest, I wouldn't have much use for Ksplice on my OpenVZ nodes. I don't foresee my updating the kernel anytime soon since the latest "stable" OpenVZ kernels aren't very good (giving clients the ability to bring down a whole node with a single command is not very stable in my book).
Which are you using? I have EL5 nodes running ovz that have 6-12 months of uptime, I wouldn't leave them up that long if it weren't for ksplice providing security updates.
I'm still on 2.6.18-238.19.1.el5.028stab092.2, one day OpenVZ will release a kernel that fixes the TUN bugs and I'll finally be able to upgrade.
What TUN bugs? I see 5 users running OpenVPN on this node, and I would imagine I would find a like number on every ovz node, and this place would be a nightmare of users bitching at me if it didn't work. I mean if it is something and you are being more critical than I would be, fair enough, but I really don't have issues with TUN.
You are lucky then. I've got a few commands that will kernel panic an OpenVZ node using TUN but so far only a few of my clients have found these commands so they must not be widely known (nor do I plan on sharing them, but here's an example: http://forum.openvz.org/index.php?t=msg&th=10246). I and a few others have also experienced kernel panics when we try to migrate a VPS with TUN enabled to a node with a newer kernel.
Strangely i haven't experienced such crash when using tun either. But i stopped using live migration some time ago, when i got a node crash while performing live migration.
@KuJoe
Hell yeah.
I could sign up on 10 of the biggest OpenVZ LEB providers right now and kernel crash every node within 24hours. I hate OpenVZ.
