summary
Answers list concrete tooling and tradeoffs: Copilot translates code-to-code and is useful for boilerplate, unit tests and even generating Kubernetes YAML that “worked ~90%” with one registry tweak; Microsoft ships and commercially supports OpenJDK builds (Java 8, 11, 17; 21 next LTS) and recommends moving to current LTS for performance; deploy Spring Boot to App Service via generated GitHub Actions CI/CD; use Azure Monitor/Application Insights for traces and logs; consider Functions vs Container Apps vs Batch based on frequency and runtime duration.
