Amazon Corretto is a no-cost, multi-platform, production-ready distribution of OpenJDK. Corretto is distributed by Amazon under an open source license.
With OpenJDK 16, Java Records and Pattern Matching for instanceof are now generally available. Another noteworthy change in this release is that the Z Garbage Collector (ZGC) now has Concurrent Thread-Stack Processing , which further reduces the time spent in Garbage Collection pauses. Included in the community updates, the Corretto team has contributed improvements for users of Graviton 2, as well as other ARM64 processors, and for Garbage Collection performance, with patches to the Shenandoah and G1 collectors.
