If you want some low cost JDK provider where you need the frequent updates as well, you can go ahead for Azul Zing instead of OpenJDK. But if budget is not a concern, I would recommend going for some well known company such as Oracle. Also if you are using Azul for production, make sure to use it for Dev ENV too so as to reproduce issues.

Native integration with Redhat Open Shift Container Platform and Cloud native micro services development especially Java micro services with quarkus which very good alternative framework on that area. Open source support and Open JDK support are extremely important for most of the java developers and communities. Good documentation and howto tutorials
