Hi everyone, welcome to the September 2024 update for Jakarta EE on Azure. The September 2024 update covers the most popular workshop series- Build, run and monitor intelligent Java apps on Azure Container Apps with Azure OpenAI, along with the latest updates on our Quarkus Azure extensions and other offers.
Microsoft partners with Jakarta EE application server vendors to create Azure Marketplace offers. These Marketplace offers have Solution Templates and Base Images which allow customers to quickly deploy their software on Azure Virtual Machines (VMs), Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS), Azure Red Hat OpenShift. This documentation simplifies the process of deploying production-ready applications by incorporating best practices from both Jakarta EE application server vendors and Microsoft onto the Azure service of your choice. Furthermore, there are numerous supporting technologies for open specification’s-based Cloud Native Java, such as Quarkus extensions, the Azure MicroProfile library, and integrations with other Azure development services. To refresh your experience using Java EE, Jakarta EE, and MicroProfile on Azure, here is the news you should know!
If you’re interested in providing feedback or working closely on your migration scenarios with the engineering team developing WebSphere on Azure solutions, fill out this short survey on Jakarta EE migration and include your contact information. The team of product managers, architects, and engineers will promptly get in touch with you to initiate close collaboration.
Build, run and monitor intelligent Java apps on Azure Container Apps with Azure OpenAI
Hosted on Azure Container Apps and powered by Azure OpenAI, this hands-on workshop will take you from simple demos to complex examples, ensuring you master the platform and unlock the power of AI with Java on Azure.
There are two sets of guides available: one is dedicated to creating Java applications with the Spring framework and deploying them on Azure Container Apps, while the other focuses on developing Java applications using Quarkus and Micronaut frameworks, also for deployment on Azure Container Apps. Both series include instructions on leveraging Azure OpenAI for building AI applications.

For a step-by-step guide on how to use the Quarkus Azure Cosmos DB extension, you may refer to Quarkus Azure Cosmos DB Extension :: Quarkiverse Documentation. If you’re looking for a complete code sample, you can find it in the Azure Cosmos DB sample.
Deploy Java application from pre-existing Azure Container Registry
The WebSphere on Azure solution template, WebSphere Liberty/Open Liberty on Kubernetes, was recently updated to allow the use of an existing Azure Container Registry (ACR) and to deploy an application with a pre-built image stored in the designated ACR.
Within the “AKS” tab, users have the option to either create a new ACR instance or select an existing ACR instance within their current Azure subscription.
In the “Operator and application” tab. The “Application container image path” can be the pre-built image stored in the ACR specified in the “AKS” tab.
To quickly get started with the official Azure offer for running Liberty on AKS, use the official Azure offer for running Liberty on AKS, see Deploy a Java application with Open Liberty or WebSphere Liberty on an Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) cluster.
