Compatibility Notes

The amazon-corretto-jdk image is a production-ready distribution of OpenJDK provided by Amazon Corretto. This image is part of the Chainguard Images collection, which are minimal, regularly-updated container images designed with security in mind. The image can be pulled from cgr.dev and is suitable for use in various environments, including production.

Getting Started

To test the amazon-corretto-jdk image, start by pulling the image:

docker pull cgr.dev/ORGANIZATION/amazon-corretto-jdk:latest

Replace ORGANIZATION with your organization's name.

Next, run a container using the image you just downloaded:

docker run -it --rm cgr.dev/ORGANIZATION/amazon-corretto-jdk:latest java -version

This command will start a container and display the Java version to verify that the image is working correctly.

Create a simple Java application, for example, HelloWorld.java:

    public class HelloWorld {
         public static void main(String[] args) {
              System.out.println("Hello, World!");
         }
    }

Then compile and run the application inside the container:

docker run -it --rm -v $(pwd):/workspace -w /workspace cgr.dev/ORGANIZATION/amazon-corretto-jdk:latest javac HelloWorld.java
docker run -it --rm -v $(pwd):/workspace -w /workspace cgr.dev/ORGANIZATION/amazon-corretto-jdk:latest java HelloWorld

You should see the output Hello, World!, indicating that the image can compile and run Java applications.

What are Chainguard Images?

Chainguard Images are a collection of container images designed for security and minimalism.

Many Chainguard Images are distroless; they contain only an open-source application and its runtime dependencies. These images do not even contain a shell or package manager. Chainguard Images are built with Wolfi, our Linux undistro designed to produce container images that meet the requirements of a secure software supply chain.

The main features of Chainguard Images include:

-dev Variants

As mentioned previously, Chainguard’s distroless Images have no shell or package manager by default. This is great for security, but sometimes you need these things, especially in builder images. For those cases, most (but not all) Chainguard Images come paired with a -dev variant which does include a shell and package manager.

Although the -dev image variants have similar security features as their distroless versions, such as complete SBOMs and signatures, they feature additional software that is typically not necessary in production environments. The general recommendation is to use the -dev variants only to build the application and then copy all application artifacts into a distroless image, which will result in a final container image that has a minimal attack surface and won’t allow package installations or logins.

That being said, it’s worth noting that -dev variants of Chainguard Images are completely fine to run in production environments. After all, the -dev variants are still more secure than many popular container images based on fully-featured operating systems such as Debian and Ubuntu since they carry less software, follow a more frequent patch cadence, and offer attestations for what they include.
