- Provided with long-term support (LTS), which includes bug fixes, performance enhancements, and security patches.
- Available for developing and running Java applications on Windows, Linux, and macOS.
- Available as container images on Docker Hub and as virtual machines (Windows and Linux) in the Azure Marketplace.
- Used by Azure to power many Azure services, such as:

These JDK releases have quarterly security updates, bug fixes, and critical out-of-band updates and patches as needed. This support includes back ports of security updates and bug fixes to Java 7 and 8 that are reported in newer versions of Java, such as Java 11. The support ensures the continued stability and security of older versions of Java. Azure customers can get these security updates and platform bug fixes without incurring any unplanned Java SE subscription fees.
Azul Systems maintains a Java SE roadmap for these releases.
