Rapid startup without compromise: A deep dive!

When: Nov 17, 2022 from 03:00 PM to 04:00 PM (ET)

Summary

"Instant On" for applications is essential in cloud and servlerless environments where scale-to-zero is used to minimize costs. CRIU is a powerful technology that can be used to achieve fast startup times. However, CRIU alone is not sufficient, there are many factors that need to be addressed in order to achieve a successful restore. Join Tobi as he demonstrates how Liberty InstantOn leverages OpenJ9 CRIU Support to achieve fast startup time while keeping applcations functionally sound. This session will introduce the audience to the OpenJ9 CRIU Support API, and discuss some of challenges with checkpoint/restore and the JVM enhancements introduced to address those challenges. The audience will learn why these enhancements are required to enable applications to function properly in a checkpoint/restore world.
