BellSoft has released Alpaquita Linux, an operating system based upon Alpine Linux, optimized for containerized Java applications. A plain Docker image is available, as well as Docker images with Liberica JDK or JRE or a Native Image Kit based upon GraalVM.
Alternatively, Alpaquita Linux can be installed via Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL), Linux repositories or an ISO file.
Alpaquita Linux offers some additional benefits such as LTS releases, support for the musl and glibc C standard libraries and modern security features with fast security patches for both the operating system and the Java runtime.
