We've created this channel to serve the global Java community of developers, executives, practitioners and beyond. Stay up to date on the latest webinars, videos and content provided by Azul Systems. Azul Systems serves companies and organizations that need to deliver server-based Java applications for their web-facing customers (travel, online retail, gaming, SaaS), meet specific latency targets for real-time business systems (advertising networks, capital markets, communications) ensure timely security updates for their Java estate, or deliver Java-based solutions for ISV, OEM, and other embedded use cases.

Session 1: In this first installment, Simon Ritter and Gerrit Grunwald, Sr. Developer Advocate and Java Champion, answer a question that they are hearing repeatedly: “If I decide to stay with Oracle Java (rather than migrate to an OpenJDK distribution) what issues will I face?

OpenJDK Migration: What Happens If I DON'T Migrate

In a world where microservices are becoming more of a standard architecture for Java-based applications running in the cloud, the JVM warmup time can become a limitation.

There is a new OpenJDK project called CRaC (Coordinated Restore at Checkpoint) which goal it is to address the JVM warmup problem with a different approach. The idea is to take a snapshot of the running JVM, store it in files and restore the JVM at a later point in time (or even on another machine).

In this Tech Talk, we will give you a short overview of the CRaC project and shows some results from a proof of concept implementation.

What the CRaC! Superfast JVM Startup [Tech Talk]

Against all expectations, many public sector organizations struggle to find cost savings after cloud migrations.  Azul and Universal Management Systems have worked with hundreds of customers after a “lift & shift" to the cloud carried a surprising Total Cost of Ownership.

Tackle & Prevent Runaway Government Costs Implementing a Cloud First Strategy

OpenJDK provides a Java platform that can scale to even internet-sized workloads.  However, because of the managed runtime environment, overall performance can be compromised.

In this webinar, Simon will explore how Azul Platform Prime:

Uniquely mitigates multiple JVM limitations of Garbage Collection (GC), warm-up, and JIT compilation, delivers consistently low latencies and glitch-free response times utilizes infrastructure more efficiently

Three Pillars for Improved Java Performance

Technical and business leaders face a paradoxical set of priorities: deliver innovative cloud-based applications while also optimizing infrastructure costs. 

By some estimates, inefficient cloud spending weighs down more than a trillion dollars of market capitalization. In a recent 451 Research survey around the primary challenges of using cloud-native technology, 42% of respondents cited cost as a major concern.

Ideally, the same tools that run your applications now could be used to help you scale efficiently and take full advantage of cutting-edge cloud technologies and services. 

John and Scott reveal how an optimized Java Virtual Machine (JVM) can help prevent cloud cost overruns while delivering a much-improved balance of price/performance across hybrid and multi-cloud systems infrastructure.

A New Way to Control Cloud Costs–Optimize Your Java Runtime

Many companies are looking to invest in a better customer experience, faster execution, and lower operating and infrastructure costs for a healthier balance sheet – with a cloud-first mindset.

For architects and performance engineers looking to improve the speed for demanding applications – tune in to discover how using hyper-optimized Java runtimes improve performance and scale with no code changes and less tuning.  

Azul partners and industry experts Peter Lawrey, CEO of Chronicle Software, and Gary Crook, CEO of Heirloom Computing, will walk you through use cases of how they have built mission-critical applications and data architectures to decrease performance-related issues.


What you'll learn:

* How to strengthen your team’s performance engineering capabilities for cloud-native workloads 
* Insight into how an optimized Java Virtual Machine (JVM) will decrease performance-related issues 
* Practical ways to improve the quality of customer experiences and application performance by up to 152%

Happy Users, Fast Transactions, Performance Engineering W/Optimized Java Runtime

"While more than 26 years old, Java is still one of the top three most popular programming languages.

Its popularity extends beyond the syntax of the language to the power of the Java Virtual Machine (JVM).  By handling internet-scale workloads, the JVM delivers the performance required for mission-critical enterprise applications.

Risks of Running Unsupported Java

In this webinar, you’ll learn best practices for migrating from Oracle JDK to OpenJDK from Simon Ritter, Azul Deputy CTO and Java Champion, who will be joined by Azul customer Leonardo de Moura Rocha Lima, CTO of TechStone, to discuss his experience when switching from Oracle to Azul. 

The webinar will cover:
-Why Azul is a proven drop-in replacement for Oracle JDK.
-Realistic timelines and key steps for Java migration – it’s the equivalent of project managing a dot or point update.
-What additional resources may be required – Your Java developers don’t need to be retrained to use OpenJDK; they already know.

Move from Oracle JDK to OpenJDK

Craving freedom from Oracle?  Azul Platform Core is a one-to-one replacement for Oracle Java SE at dramatically lower costs — delivering the most architectures, package types, and configuration options available.

In this on-demand webinar, Azul Deputy CTO Simon Ritter and former Oracle Java Technology Manager Ariane Miller discuss:

When Java support becomes essential
And how to migrate from Oracle Java to OpenJDK without sacrificing stability or security"

Secure, Stable Java: With or Without Oracle

At its best, open source software (OSS) provides developers with the Java coding foundations they need, freeing up their time and energy to focus on building custom applications. By leveraging readily-available OSS, companies can speed up their digital transformations and deploy resources more efficiently; its appeal is so vast that recent ESG research found that 80% of organizations currently use OSS, while a further 19% are planning to do so. Yet many OSS implementations are not as secure as they should be and these vulnerabilities can cause significant damage if left unresolved.

Third-party code can sometimes contain security risks and so it is critical that IT teams have the support they need to identify vulnerabilities and remediate them quickly. Maintaining visibility over OSS is fundamental in order to fix errors and reduce attack areas, but many companies have a security skills gap in their development teams. Others may find themselves bogged down by monitoring, reducing the value of using OSS in the first place. By accessing support through a Java solution like Azul, companies can fill this skills void and embed security within developer workflows, so that Java is optimized.

In this webinar from Azul and ESG, industry experts will break down the biggest trends in OSS usage, the critical vulnerabilities of Java and the steps your organization can take to remediate any security risks.

Tune in to hear more about:

— The key takeaways from the attack on log4j and other exploits of OSS vulnerabilities
— What a secure OSS system looks like in practice
— How to partner with a Java security solution like Azul to streamline OSS management
— And much more

Rationalizing Your Java TCO | Freedom from Oracle

A conversation with Simon Ritter, Java Champion and Deputy CTO of Azul, hosted by John Abbott, co-founder of 451 Research. Simon and John will discuss the evolution of Java, how it is licensed today and what options and alternatives are available to customers, now and in the future. Java is still one of the most popular languages in current use, but many companies running Java as a platform for their enterprise applications are still on very old versions, with some 15 percent of developers still using JDK 7, released over a decade ago. Support for Java 7 from Oracle ended in July 2022, leaving customers with choices to make. What are their options? What are the risks of remaining unsupported? How readily can organizations transition to OpenJDK? And how should organizations plan their longer term migration and upgrade strategies?

Keeping Java current: Licensing & Upgrading Options

In this webinar, Java Champion Simon Ritter outlines how Oracle has changed the licensing of their JDK, meaning that long-term support (LTS) for commercial Java use is no longer free.

Fortunately, the OpenJDK project has emerged as a viable option, and provides the source code for releases back to JDK 6.  However, to deploy Java requires a binary distribution to be built from OpenJDK source code, of which Zulu is one.

Simon also discusses what the essential aspects are of a secure, production-ready Java distribution.

After watching this webinar you’ll have a clear picture of how Zulu Enterprise provides a very cost-effective alternative to the Oracle JDK with identical, if not better, levels of support.

Cost-Effective Java

Most enterprises now understand the power of data science and machine learning.  The ability to tap into the enormous amounts of data that companies possess can lead to significantly improved efficiencies and cost savings.

In this webinar, presented by Azul Deputy CTO and Java Champion Simon Ritter, he looks at how Java can be used for these types of applications.

He starts with a review of data science and machine learning and then moves on to look at various open-source frameworks, and how they can be used to quickly develop powerful data science applications.

Data Science and Machine Learning with Java

Since Oracle stopped providing free security updates for Java 8 and 11, there have been 71 published Java security vulnerabilities, including 11 published on July 14th. Deploying fixes to secure Java runtimes has become more challenging and needs to be given more consideration. Is securing Java runtime environments necessary? What is your organization’s strategy for Java security? In this webinar, Azul’s Deputy CTO Simon Ritter – Java Champion and renowned Java expert for over 20 years – uses examples to demonstrate why Java needs to be secure, and shows how to protect your applications and your business through regular updates. Need to secure your Java infrastructure better, faster, and easier without breaking the bank? This webinar helps you get there…
