Challenge
- In 2012, Microsoft wanted to offer Java on the Azure Cloud, unencumbered by complex licensing or end-user restrictions.
Solution
- Microsoft partnered with Azul to provide fully compatible, fully supported, compliant commercial builds of Java SE available for Java developers on Microsoft Azure, for all long-term support (LTS) versions of Java, starting with Java SE 7, 8, and 11.
Result
- Through Microsoft’s collaboration with Azul, Azure and Azure Stack customers can use tested, certified Azul Platform Core builds of OpenJDK backed by Azure Support, at no additional cost and worry-free, by incorporating Azul’s quarterly security updates and bug fixes.
