I spoke with the folks that are maintain the container images. They recommend using the IBM Container Registry if you want to use Java 21 with Liberty in a container. There is no date for the release on Ubuntu with Java 21.

Thank you for the Response.
Follow up question on this docker image, https://hub.docker.com/_/websphere-liberty. Would there be a Java 21 version available soon for this ubuntu image? Just Curious.
Thank you.

Hi,
If you are comparing these two:
- https://hub.docker.com/_/websphere-liberty
- https://hub.docker.com/r/ibmcom/websphere-liberty
The difference is underlying operating system:
- First one uses - WebSphere Liberty multi-architecture images based on Ubuntu 18.04
- Second - WebSphere Liberty multi-architecture images based on UBI 8.
The UBI is preferred for OpenShift deployments, but you should be able to use it in any other container environment also.

Hi,
I am trying to explore the websphere-liberty official docker image and I see the image tags to be only supporting Java 17. Will there a future release to include Java 21?
Also, on the other hand, I am looking at this docker image repo, https://hub.docker.com/r/ibmcom/websphere-liberty. This repo has Support for Java 21. I see this repo is maintained by IBM, what's the difference between the official docker image vs the image that's available in this repo?
Thanks,
Rohit
