The Deploying on Kubernetes and OpenShift with OpenJ9 CRIU Support blog post (which is now out of date) showed how to deploy on OpenShift Container Platform (OCP) using OpenJ9 CRIU Support. Since that time however, OCP has released Version 4.13 which uses Red Hat CoreOS (RHCOS) 4.13, which is based on RHEL 9. This means…
Overview The previous blog introduced using OpenJ9 CRIU Support. However, the application had to be run with elevated privileges. This blog outlines how to use OpenJ9 CRIU Support with minimal privileges. We have tested running a UBI8 container on RHEL 8.6 and a Ubuntu 22.04 container on Ubuntu 22.04 with the latest kernel updates (this…
Overview The previous blog introduced Eclipse OpenJ9 CRIU Support. In this blog you will learn how you can use our setup containerfiles as a convenience to create an environment for experimentation with OpenJ9 CRIU Support.
