School of OpenJDK Migration

Java applications perform just as well and run just as securely on independent OpenJDK distributions as on the Oracle JDK. And the total cost of ownership is far more affordable. Expert engineering support from an independent commercial provider like Azul include quarterly updates of JDK binaries across a broad array of platforms and typically costs 70% less than an Oracle Java SE subscription.

In this Tech Talk, Joao Gonzalez, JDK Migration Lead at Azul covers the three elements of a successful migration plan.
