JVMs in Containers, Towards a Perfect Symbiosis!

JVMs and containers are like fries and mayonnaise – better together!

During this technical session, we will discuss best practices of using the JVM with containers:

Techniques and tools to optimize containers size (e.g. jlink, Project Portola)
Approaches to improve applications startup time (e.g. CDS)
Benefits of using Graal SubstrateVM for AOT (Ahead-of-Time) compilation
The recent OpenJDK enhancements that improve the interactions between the JVM and Docker, etc.

Attend this session to understand how you can better leverage one of today’s most used programming platform, i.e. the JVM, with the most common tool to deploy code, i.e. containers.
