How to run Java workloads on AWS
summary
Amazon Corretto is a drop‑in OpenJDK downstream created in 2016 and public since 2019 with no‑cost LTS for Java 8, 11 and 17 (Java 21 now supported). Migration pathways map to rehost to EC2, replatform to ECS/EKS or App Runner, or refactor to Lambda/Fargate; EC2 keeps most operational responsibility while Fargate/Lambda trade customization for built‑in best practices. Runtime tooling includes CodeGuru for profiling and code suggestions, and decisions hinge on measurable tradeoffs in scaling, latency, operational burden and migration effort.
