Create images based on amazonlinux 2023

[alzaicko]

We use amazonlinux and it would be nice if you could expand the images to include images based on amazonlinux2023 and amazoncoretto.

Can you elaborate on your use case? These images are generally only used for build time, and not runtime. And it shouldn't matter if you use a different JVM at runtime than you used for compilation.

[alzaicko]

We only use images at build time, not at runtime.
In this case, we need an image with glibc, but we cannot use Debian (and derivative OS) images.

[keeganwitt]

Could you share why Debian based images don't work for you? That will give me some context for similar requests.

[alzaicko]

I didn't say that Debian-based images don't work, I just can't use them at the company I currently work for due to the way that company works.

Or I'll have to collect the images myself and keep them up to date.

Ah, OK. I misunderstood. I thought there was a technical issue and thought I might learn something by asking :)

Amazon Corretto has an official image (which is a requirement for this image), so that's something we could do.

I'm trying to understand now what tags we'd potentially want. There's a lot more tags than they have documented (corretto/corretto-docker#197). I presume all we'd want is what they call "the defacto image".

[alzaicko]

I think you can do like jetty, they have a tag jetty-jdk<java_version>-amazoncoretto which is built on the basis of amazoncoretto-jdk<java_version>-al2, only they are based not on al2, but on al2023
