alt Hacker News> Has that actually changed in some part of the industry?
I suspect the only thing that's changed is that Oracle now charge you for the pleasure. ;)
More seriously though, its been a long time since I've touched Java, but I suspect the only thing that's changed is that its all hidden in magical kubernetes containers these days.
Not sure if you know what you are talking about? Most users of Java don't pay anything to Oracle. Many things have changed in the Java world. Kubernetes doesn't have any special relation to Java.
