I would go for Azul Platform Core where someone needs secure JRE and JDK at a cheaper price where they can afford some CPU memory spikes. If you are highly concerned about the high availability of systems, or CPU memory usage, then, in my opinion, Azul Platform Core should be avoided. Also, considering what I believe to be their poor support, you might want to reconsider buying this subscription.

Most API related and infrastructure related tech features implemented and fabricated with OpenJDK packages and Libraries. Extensive tech configurations are still developed with this product. we would to like to continue the usage this package for our upcoming projects as well. For Data Visualization I feel OpenJDK does have much resources for making data more insightful and helpful.

In my opinion, it offered very poor support, and I believe their tech support does not have much knowledge of their own systems.

Obviously, OpenJDK has a more permissive license than Oracle's JDK. Still, Amazon Corretto comes with commercial support, & since it's backed by Amazon's infrastructure, downloading a new package to install on a new laptop/system is just a breeze.
