Hi everyone, welcome to the June 2025 update for Jakarta EE and Quarkus on Azure. It covers topics such as DevServices support of Quarkus Azure Extension<\/a>, and comprehensive guides on implementing Quarkus applications monitoring<\/a> and Liberty applications monitoring<\/a>.<\/p>\n

If you’re interested in providing feedback or collaborating on migrating Java workloads to Azure with the engineering team developing Jakarta EE and MicroProfile on Azure solutions, please complete this short survey on Jakarta EE migration<\/a>. The team of product managers, architects, and engineers will promptly get in touch with you to initiate close collaboration.<\/p>\n

Microsoft partner with Oracle, IBM, and Red Hat to build a portfolio based on two pillars: the Azure Marketplace offers include Solution Templates <\/em>and Base Images<\/em> which allow customers to quickly deploy software on Azure Virtual Machines (VMs), Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS), Azure Red Hat OpenShift (ARO), and Azure Container Apps (ACA) within Azure Portal; additionally, within Azure Learn, you\u2019ll find an extensive collection of Java EE, Jakarta EE and MicroProfile<\/a> guidance. Beyond these, there are numerous supporting technologies for open specifications-based Cloud Native Java, such as Quarkus extension, the Azure MicroProfile library, and integration 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!<\/p>\n

Explore DevServices support for Quarkus Azure Cosmos DB Extension and Quarkus Azure Blob Storage Extension<\/h3>\n

Quarkus can automatically provision unconfigured services in development and test mode through DevServices.\u00a0 Quarkus Azure Extensions – Quarkus Azure Cosmos DB<\/a> and Quarkus Azure Blob Storage<\/a> – add DevServices support as well.\u00a0 For instance, if you\u2019re development an application using Azure Cosmos DB or Azure Blob Storage, as long as you have the extension in your pom, a container will be started for testing using Testcontainers.\u00a0 You only need to define your configuration for production with the %prod. prefix. The dev mode one is taken care of.<\/p>\n
