Notes
- Banner 9 requires Oracle or OpenJDK 8.
- Ellucian support documentation states that Banner 9 on RHEL 7 with OpenJDK 1.8 is supported with most services except the following, for obvious reasons:
- Oracle Database
- Oracle Fusion Middleware
- OpenJDK has different builds
- AdoptOpenJDK for public usage
- Amazon Corretto for public and customer usage
- Oracle Java SE for Oracle paying customers
- Oracle OpenJDK for Oracle nonpaying customers
- Red Hat OpenJDK for Red Hat paying customers
- AdoptOpenJDK was readily available through docker, it has a large community to support it (no need to get commercial support), and it runs under the Hotspot JVM, which is Oracle's JVM, so we know the performance would be comparable if not the same.
- It can also run under OpenJ9, which is the Eclipse Foundations version of the JVM.
- It is supposed to have a low memory footprint and run more efficiently compared to Hotspot but we haven't explored that option yet.
- The InCommon Trusted Access Platform (TAP) is containerizing its components using Amazon's Corretto JDK.
- The IAM team is deploying TAP components, starting with Grouper.
