People want to run Java workloads in Linux containers and they want that to work well. Historically, Java has tended to prefer to manage things itself, and without tuning, there have been challenges getting OpenJDK payloads to excel alongside other workloads in container workloads. But that has been changing.

This talk will give a high-level overview of the journey that OpenJDK has taken to play nicely with others in a container context (Kubernetes or otherwise), the current state-of-play, and where we might be going in the future.

No deep Java knowledge necessary.

The author works on OpenJDK and containers, both in the upstream OpenJDK project and downstream, initially at Red Hat, and now at IBM.
