There is also https://adoptopenjdk.net (https://hub.docker.com/u/adoptopenjdk) 
who are building Alpine/Slim images for the latest OpenJDK releases.

Subject: [onap-discuss] [cia] Alpine might not be the best choice

It's worth looking at the experience of other open source projects.

For example, the Jenkins project is moving away from 
Alpline<https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/JENKINS-55547>. The issue 
specifically is OpenJDK support moving forward. At this moment, it's not clear 
that the OpenJDK project will publish Alpine-based images, so the Jenkins 
project cannot rely on that path. This is also being discussed in the mailing 
list<https://groups.google.com/forum/?utm_medium=email&utm_source=footer#!msg/jenkinsci-dev/9kIJFrk9vRA/S3bcVNzKAAAJ>.
 It's worth following the conversation there.

Also note that Alpine's reputation of being smallest is not necessarily 
deserved. Here are some observations from our own research on OpenJDK images:

  *   Red Hat Minimal + OpenJDK = 313 MB
  *   Alpine based OpenJDK = 340 MB
  *   Red Hat based OpenJDK 8 image = 456 MB
  *   Debian based OpenJDK = 839 MB
As I keep reiterating, as long as all ONAP images derive from the same base, as 
they eventually will, the actual size of that base is a non issue and we should 
be choosing our reference implementation based on other criteria such as 
community health, stability, security, ongoing maintenance, developer 
mindshare, etc.
