Respective the container Boundary

Processor Boundary (--cpu-shares)
6
public class CoreCheck {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println(Runtime.getRuntime().availableProcessors());
}}
JDK8 :
docker run --rm --cpu-shares 2048 -v /root/:/mnt/mydata -it ubuntu bash
root@7599aae2613d:/mnt/mydata/jdk-8/bin# ./java CoreCheck
8
FROM openjdk:10
ADD CoreCheck.java .
WORKDIR .
RUN javac CoreCheck.java
CMD ["java", "CoreCheck" ]
docker build -t hello-world .
docker run --cpu-shares 2048 java-helloworld
2

Processor Boundary (--cpuset-cpus)
7
public class CoreCheck {
}}
JDK8 :
docker run --rm --cpuset-cpus 3,4,6 -v /root/:/mnt/mydata -it ubuntu bash
8 (ideally it should say 3)
FROM openjdk:10
ADD CoreCheck.java .
WORKDIR .
RUN javac CoreCheck.java
CMD ["java", "CoreCheck" ]
docker run --cpuset-cpus 3,4,6 java-
helloworld
3 (Processor 3rd, 4th and 6th)

Here are the results (Respecting Logs)
8
public class HelloWorld {
}}
JDK10 :
root@4795a54e037e:/mnt/mydata/jdk-10b38/bin# ./java -Xlog:os+container=trace HelloWorld
[0.001s][trace][os,container] OSContainer::init: Initializing Container Support
[0.001s][trace][os,container] Path to /memory.limit_in_bytes is /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/
memory.limit_in_bytes
JDK9 :
root@4795a54e037e:/mnt/mydata/jdk-9/bin# ./java -Xlog:os+container=trace HelloWorld
[0.001s][error][logging] Invalid tag 'container' in what-expression.
Invalid -Xlog option '-Xlog:os+container=trace'

Here are the results (ActiveProcessorCount)
9
public class HelloWorld {
}}
JDK10 :
root@4795a54e037e:/mnt/mydata/jdk-10b38/bin# ./java -
XX:ActiveProcessorCount=4 HelloWorld
4
JDK8 :
root@4795a54e037e:/mnt/mydata/jdk1.8.0_152/bin# ./java -
XX:ActiveProcessorCount=4 HelloWorld
Unrecognized VM option 'ActiveProcessorCount=4'
Error: Could not create the Java Virtual Machine.
Error: A fatal exception has occurred. Program will exit.

Cont.. (Respecting Memory Boundaries)
10
public class MemoryCheck {
System.out.println(Runtime.getRuntime().maxMemory());
}}
JDK8 :
docker run --rm --memory 100m -v /root/:/mnt/mydata -it ubuntu bash
It will print 1/4 of the Physical Memory (It should understand docker memory limit)
FROM openjdk:10
ADD MemoryCheck.java .
WORKDIR .
RUN javac MemoryCheck.java
CMD ["java", "MemoryCheck" ]
docker run --memory 100m java-helloworld
Half of the docker limit (50m)

Solution 1 : Application Class Data Sharing (AppCDS)

Copyright © 2016, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. | Confidential – Oracle Internal/Restricted/Highly Restricted
How Application Class Data Sharing (AppCDS) Help?
• CDS only supports archiving classes on the bootstrap class path, which provides
limited (or no) benefit for large applications in today’s cloud environment as
majority of loaded classes are application classes.
• AppCDS extends the archiving support beyond core library classes
– Enables archiving classes loaded by all class loaders
• PlatformClassLoader (the ExtensionClassLoader in JDK 8 and earlier versions)
• AppClassLoader
• User defined class loaders
• AppCDS allows archiving and sharing read-only java heap objects with G1 GC
• AppCDS provides further reduction in storage for archived class metadata

AppCDS inside Container - How to use
• Simple CDS use in Docker
DockerFile

FROM openjdk:10
ADD HelloWorld.java .
WORKDIR .
RUN javac HelloWorld.java
RUN ["java", "-Xshare:dump" ]
CMD ["java", "-showversion" , "-Xshare:on", "HelloWorld" ]

Cont…
• Determine the class to archive
java -Xshare:off -XX:+UseAppCDS -XX:DumpLoadedClassList=hello.lst -cp hello.jar
HelloWorld
• Creating the AppCDS archive
java -Xshare:dump -XX:+UseAppCDS -XX:SharedClassListFile=hello.lst
-XX:SharedArchiveFile=hello.jsa -cp hello.jar
• Using the AppCDS archive
java -Xshare:on -XX:+UseAppCDS -XX:SharedArchiveFile=hello.jsa
-cp hello.jar HelloWorld

Solution 2: Ahead of Time Compilation (AOT)

Solution 3: Modularity

DockerFile should look like
FROM openjdk:10 as small
ADD jdk-10.tar.gz /jdk
ENV PATH=$PATH:/jdk/jdk-10/bin
RUN [“jlink”, “—compress=2”, “—module-path”, “/jdk/jdk-10/jmods”,
“—add-modules”, “java.base”, “—output”, “/linked” ]
FROM openjdk:10
COPY —from=small /linked /jdk
ADD HelloWorld.class
CMD [“java”, “-showversion”, “HelloWorld”]
