Amazon’s Consumer Business Turned Off Final Oracle Database

AWS is maintaining separate releases of the JDK to help offset the release shenanigans of Oracle.

And there are other concerted efforts to keep control from Oracle in releases and the validity of the JDK.

As long as a sufficiently large majority (and AWS is helping here a lot, admittedly) maintain such regimented discipline, the JDK will be ok.

Oracle mostly wanted it to sue google for billions. That suit is basically dead, and Oracle knows the JVM isn't worth any large scale revenue.

Corretto is decent, but AWS just doesn't get non-Amazon devs/tooling, and so e.g. almost a year later, there is still no alpine docker image: https://github.com/corretto/corretto-8-docker/issues/1
