io.quarkus:quarkus-bom is the BOM generated by the core release. Except when developing extensions or in very specific cases, you shouldn't use it.

io.quarkus.platform:quarkus-bom is the BOM generated by the platform release. It ensures proper alignment with all the Platform members (but only contains the dependencies from the core). This is the BOM you should use for your applications.
