Multiple Distros for Java Runtimes #26
Description
It will be nice to have OpenWhisk JDK runtimes available on multiple distributions
- centos
- debian
- alpine
The initial work of this can follow the pattern like https://github.com/kameshsampath/adoptopenjdk .
Moving this discussion from #24, #18 to discuss and freeze on this.

Also need to consider architect to the matrix of images
s390x ppc64 arm (ie raspberry pi/edge device)

I see, 2 requirements,
Yes, I agree with supporting different architectures . But do we need to support images based on different distributions. Can't we have single distribution across multiple architectures. (could be alpine/musl based image).
kameshsampath commentedon Mar 8, 2018
IMHO yes. My thoughts:
Alpine is not suited for production env and it has some security flaws. I have seen some thread where they have issues with JDK > 1.8.1 u131 - this where Java started to understand
cgroupsstill experimental options but soon would be in mainstream.When to increase user adoption we need to support popular distros e.g centos and debian, that makes the developer extend these images with their favorite distros
