What is Microsoft Build of OpenJDK?
The Microsoft Build of OpenJDK is a no-cost distribution of OpenJDK that's open source and available for free for anyone to deploy anywhere. It includes Long-Term Support (LTS) binaries for Java 11 and Java 17 on x64 server and desktop environments on macOS, Linux, and Windows, AArch64/ARM64 on Linux and Windows, binaries for macOS on Apple Silicon (AArch64/M1), and musl libc compiled binaries for Alpine Linux on x64.
The Microsoft Build of OpenJDK binaries are based on OpenJDK source code, following the same build scripts used by the Eclipse Adoptium project and tested against the Eclipse Adoptium Quality Assurance suite (including OpenJDK project tests). Microsoft's generally available binaries have passed the Java Technology Compatibility Kit (TCK) which is used to verify compatibility with the Java specifications. The Microsoft Build of OpenJDK is a drop-in replacement for any other OpenJDK distribution available in the Java ecosystem.

Expected OpenJDK Behavior with Support from Microsoft
With so many builds of Java it is good to have a team backing and supporting your Java runtime in production. By leveraging a large company with a support relationship - from a business perspective this mitigates any risk associated with the use of a library in production. This is currently being used via Azure.

Great free open source Open JDK alternative!
Primarily the use case was to help drive low cost development for workloads in creating cloud based digital prouducts. Microsoft Build OpenJDK allows for support of Java 17 library for use in deployed Linux environments for us to package.
- Support for the Java libraries that are common use today
- Support for various architecture environments - Mac, Windows, Linux, etc...
- Provides a low cost or rather no cost alternative
- Since it's open source, enterprise support is less than as if you are running paid like an Oracle JDK.
- Performance is improving and is I would say on par with paid solutions, this could improve to help with growth.
- Stability will happen over time with more contributions and fixes
- No cost alternative to paid JDK platforms
- Performance is that of paid JDK platforms in my opinion
- Community contribution is a bonus for contributed code and open collaboration
Microsoft Build of OpenJDK stacks up against Oracle JDK (paid) very well. From both a performance, implementation, library support, and collaboration aspect.
