The JVM and Docker - A Good Idea

Explore the complexities and challenges of running Java Virtual Machines (JVMs) inside Docker containers in this 47-minute Devoxx conference talk. Delve into the benefits, downsides, and lessons learned from containerizing Java applications, with a focus on efficient hardware utilization. Learn how to tune memory limits, avoid out-of-memory issues, and track native memory usage. Discover essential operating system tools for container awareness and debugging techniques. Gain insights on external monitoring tools, thread pool tuning for various frameworks, and best practices for optimizing JVM performance within containerized environments. Understand the intricacies of CPU limiting, shares, and quotas to maximize resource efficiency in your containerized Java applications.
