Microsoft and Adoptium builds of OpenJDK are provided and supported on App Service for Java 8, 11, and 17. These binaries are provided as a no-cost, multi-platform, production-ready distribution of the OpenJDK for Azure. They contain all the components for building and running Java SE applications. For local development or testing, you can install the Microsoft build of OpenJDK from the [downloads page](/java/openjdk/download).

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.
