If you're [pinned](configure-language-java.md#choosing-a-java-runtime-version) to an older minor version of Java, your site may be using the deprecated [Azul Zulu for Azure](https://devblogs.microsoft.com/java/end-of-updates-support-and-availability-of-zulu-for-azure/) binaries provided through [Azul Systems](https://www.azul.com/). You can continue to use these binaries for your site, but any security patches or improvements will only be available in new versions of the OpenJDK, so we recommend that you periodically update your Web Apps to a later version of Java.
