This Talk’s Purpose / Goals
This talk is focused on Java for Azure This is not a “how to write a Java program” talk This is a talk about how Java fits into the Azure
landscape and why Zulu by Azul plays a big role. Purpose: Once you understand where Zulu fits,
you’ll know just enough to be dangerous... The “Azul makes the world’s greatest JVMs” stuff
will only come at the end, I promise...

High Level Agenda
Java history, evolution, and current picture of industry
Zoom into the Java Virtual Machine, the architectural heart of Java
Zoom out, seeing where the JVM fits in the greater application universe
Focus back in on Azure and pick apart why Java on Azure isn’t so weird as it initially sounds.
Introduce and describe Zulu, a new OpenJDK distribution offered by Azul Systems

Notice: we’ll be laying a lot of ground work to get to the Azure parts

Azul’s Evolution in Java ContextYear Azul Java Milestone
1996 Sun ships Java 1.0. Codename “Oak”.
1999 Sun builds Java 1.2 w/ Swing and Browser plugin. First use of HotSpot as trade name of JVM. “Java 2”, split as J2SE, J2EE, and J2ME
2002 Founded J2EE called best platform for web. J2SE 4.x solid for server apps, 1st 64-bit VM. BEA acquires Appeal, the JRockit VM creators.
2005 Vega J2 Version 5, Codename “Tiger”, is huge. BEA WebLogic 8.1 hot. “IBM J9” VM replaces “IBM Classic” VM under WebSphere 6.1
2007 Oracle acquires BEA. JRockit VM kept intact over Oracle VM.
2010 Zing VE Oracle acquires Sun. Java and Sparc kept intact. JRockit pushed for specialty workloads only.
2011 Zing LX Oracle ships JSE 7. OpenJDK becomes base codeline for JSE7.0. IBM ships WAS 8.0 on J9 JDK6. Zing 5 released.
2013 Zing PE IBM ships WAS 8.5 and it can be configured to use J9 JDK7. OpenJDK 7 is released. IcedTea 6 is released. JRockit revived.
2013 Zulu OpenJDK 8 will be foundation of Oracle’s JSE 8.
2014 Zulu Ent OpenJDK 8 released in March. Zulu8 beats IcedTea and J9 to market.

Business provides team with requirements. Developers author Java source code on laptops, pull in 3rd party frameworks or APIs. Commit code to repository where builds compiled, JAR/WAR, and data components integrated, and QA testers validate full server application. Upon passing all tests, Ops staff push JARs to final server and client targets.

On Premise
Use native packaging to install Zulu like any other download:
04/15/202318
.msi .rpm .deb .dmg
Virtualization also encouraged:or just use a Zip file.
This is the general “use this software” case. Install and go.a.
