3. Agenda
■ Recent changes to how you
consume Java security updates
■ Pivotal Spring Runtime
■ Next steps
4. An Important Change to How You Receive Java Security Updates
Starting now, security updates to Oracle
Java SE will require a subscription from
Oracle.
● If you’re running Oracle Java SE in production,
you are now legally obliged to pay for it.
● Otherwise, security and performance updates will
stop, leaving production systems vulnerable.
➔ Oracle Java SE is the most
popular version of the
Java JDK in use today
➔ 70% of developers use it
in production
➔ Updates to Java are
mission critical
➔ Security vulnerabilities and
performance issues are all
fixed via updates
5. It’s time to pick a new, long-term
supplier for Java.
