Microsoft also acquired JClarity, a London-based Java performance monitoring software provider and consultancy, in 2019 as the foundation of the Microsoft Java Engineering Group. In addition, to better support organizations with Java workloads Microsoft has teamed with companies such as VMware on the development of Azure Spring Cloud as a managed destination for Spring Boot applications. “Microsoft brings the expertise of running enterprise Java workloads, both internally and externally, to help our customers transform their business.” ![]() “We’re running hundreds of thousands JVMs in production for our internal systems (not including any customer workloads), and LinkedIn alone has thousands of Java microservices in production,” Liuson said in a blog post. The company has been offering free cloud compute cycles to support CI/CD and code scanning capabilities in GitHub repos, which help to power several of the top Java projects from organizations like the Eclipse Foundation, Apache, VMware, and Red Hat, she said. In addition, Microsoft-owned GitHub is the home for open source Java projects, with over 3.6 million hosted Java repositories, Liuson said. Java powers some of Microsoft’s core products such as LinkedIn, SQL Server, Azure, Minecraft and Yammer. ![]() “We have our version of OpenJDK running on hundreds of thousands of VMs inside Microsoft,” Liuson said.

Microsoft Is Open for JavaĪs Java is one of the most popular programming languages in the world, used by over 7 million developers, Microsoft is intent on bringing more of those developers to the Azure cloud, said Julia Liuson, corporate vice president of Microsoft’s developer division, in an interview with InApps. With general availability, Microsoft also released Microsoft Build of OpenJDK Docker images and corresponding Dockerfiles, said George Adams, Java Program Manager at Microsoft, in a blog post. It includes binaries for Java 11 based on OpenJDK 11.0.11 on 圆4 server and desktop environments on macOS, Linux, and Windows. It is free and supported by Microsoft for customers with qualifying Azure support plans. The GA release of the Microsoft Build of OpenJDK follows swiftly behind an April preview release of the technology, which is a long-term support distribution. OpenJDK is the free and open-source reference implementation of the Java SE Platform, which includes the Java Development Kit (JDK). The Microsoft Build of OpenJDK binaries are based on OpenJDK source code, following the same build scripts used by the Eclipse Adoptium project and tested against the Eclipse Adoptium Quality Assurance suite (including OpenJDK project tests).Microsoft made its distribution of OpenJDK generally available at its Build 2021 virtual conference so that developers who want to use Java on the Azure cloud can do so. Additionally Java 16 is also provided (non-LTS). It includes Long-Term Support (LTS) binaries for Java 11 and Java 17 on 圆4 server and desktop environments on macOS, Linux, and Windows, AArch64/ARM64 on Linux and Windows, and binaries for macOS on Apple Silicon (AArch64/M1). The Microsoft Build of OpenJDK is a no-cost distribution of OpenJDK that's open source and available for free for anyone to deploy anywhere. ![]()
