    Java & Containers: What I Wish I Knew Before I Used It: Elder Moraes Developer Advocate @elderjava

    Uploaded by

    Elder Moraes
    The document discusses common issues that can arise when combining Java and containers, including long build times, huge image sizes, and hard maintainability. It provides tips for avoiding these issues, such as being mindful of caching and dependencies, using official images and tags, and leveraging Java features for resource allocation in containers starting with Java 8u131. The conclusions are that Java and containers can work well together if intentional in building Dockerfiles, starting with Java 11+ for best support, and being cautious with older Java versions.

    Common Issues when combining
    Java & containers
    • Long build time

    • Huge image size

    • Hard maintainability

    • Resources allocation

    Mind unnecessary dependencies

    Do this Avoid this

    12 @elderjava
    Eliminate package manager cache

    How to manage

    Resources allocation

    20 @elderjava
    For Java 8u121 and before

    Container?
    cgroups?

    21 @elderjava
    For Java 8u121 and before

    "Control groups (cgroups) is a kernel feature that limits,


    accounts for and isolates the CPU, memory, disk I/O
    and network's usage of one or more processes."

    22 @elderjava
    For Java 8u121 and before
    https://github.com/fabric8io-images/run-java-sh

    23 @elderjava
    For Java 8u131 and Java 9
    • ParallelGCThreads: helps to limit the cpu usage of a container

    • UseCGroupMemoryLimitForHeap: JVM uses the cgroups limits to


    calculate memory defaults

    • MaxRAMFraction: percentage of available RAM that can be used

    24 @elderjava
    For Java 8u191 and Java 10
    • InitialRAMPercentage: initial percentage of heap allocation

    • MaxRAMPercentage: maximum percentage of heap allocation

    • MinRAMPercentage: minimum percentage of heap allocation

    • # of CPUs is calculated from container allocation by default


    (JDK-8196595)

    25 @elderjava
    For Java 11
    • -XshowSettings (Container Metrics): display the system or
    container configuration

    • JDK-8197867: improve CPU calculations for both containers and


    JVM hotspot (see PreferContainerQuotaForCPUCount)

    26 @elderjava
    For Java 12 and 13
    • jhsdb now can be attached to Java processes running in containers
    (JDK-8205992)

    • Container support improved for Java Flight Recorder


    (JDK-8203359)

    • Improve systemd slice memory limit support (JDK-8217338)

    27 @elderjava
    For Java 14
    • JFR Event Streaming: expose JDK Flight Recorder data for
    continuous monitoring (easier for observability in clusters)

    • Packaging Tool: tool for packaging self-contained Java


    applications (incubator)

    28 @elderjava
    Conclusions
    • Yes, Java and containers can get along!

    • Be intentional when building your Dockerfiles

    • Better start with Java 11+

    • If you *really* need 8 (why?), be extra cautious
