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.

Many businesses are struggling to connect the dots between the value they deliver via the cloud and the costs required to deliver that value.   A recent survey cited “70% of companies are paying for 20% or more extra public cloud capacity”* 

How much are you willing to continue waste to protect your business?  Java-based infrastructure and applications are significant drivers of cloud compute instances.  Companies are changing the equation and keeping cloud costs under control reducing the amount of wasted compute it takes to run Java workloads.

Executes Java apps faster
Improves compute instance utilization through higher consistency
Enables better elasticity  
Join Simon Ritter, Deputy CTO of Azul and William Fellows, VP Research, Founder of 451 Group to explore cloud cost management best practices.  You will learn how an enhanced Java runtime enables engineering and cloud architecture teams to curb cloud infrastructure spending.

Cloud Cost Optimization for Java Workloads

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

What impact is Oracle’s Java pricing and licensing change earlier this year having on company’s decisions to migrate to an OpenJDK alternative? How are companies addressing cloud costs and unused cloud capacity? How were companies impacted by the Log4j vulnerability? Our panel of experts examines and analyzes findings from the 2023 Azul State of Java Survey.

Survey Trend Expert Panel: State of Java 2023

Another 6 months has passed, and we have a new version of Java SE. Released on September 19th, version 21 will be a long-term support version distributions of which will have extended support and maintenance for several years. 

In this Tech Talk, we’ll cover the key improvements in the platform across language, libraries and JVM:

Virtual threads
String templates
Sequenced collections
Record patterns and pattern matching for switch
Unnamed patterns and variables
Unnamed classes and instance main methods
Scoped values and structured concurrency which are still preview features

JDK 21: A Comprehensive Overview of Key Features and Enhancements

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]

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

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.

Watch this webinar to hear how to:

* understand Cloud TCO and curb runaway Cloud costs
* make Cloud-native technologies and applications more performant
* and reduce Cloud operational complexity

Presenters:
Keith Barnes, VP Sales, Public Sector, Azul
David Burns, COO, Universal Management Solutions
Adam D’Angelo, Sales Engineer, Azul
Simon Ritter, Deputy CTO, Azul

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.
