Introducing Amazon Corretto
summary
Amazon Corretto is Amazon’s no cost multiplatform build of OpenJDK with a commitment to coordinated quarterly security patches and public upstream contributions so it is not a fork. It runs thousands of services inside Amazon and about 90% of Amazon’s Java services use it. JDK 8 is GA, JDK 11 is coming, builds target Windows, macOS, many Linux distros and Docker, and Amazon backports performance fixes to shorten patch turnaround from months to weeks. Support is via GitHub/StackOverflow/Reddit and AWS premium channels.
