Public Preview: Azure Command Launcher for Java

At Microsoft Ignite 2025, we announced the Public Preview of the Azure Command Launcher for Java, a new JVM launcher optimized specifically for Azure. This tool provides better default ergonomics for Java applications running in containers and virtual machines, ensuring more efficient use of resources right from the start. By using Azure Command Launcher for Java to automatically set JVM parameters tailored for cloud deployments, your workloads have reduced wasted memory and CPU cycles, improving first-deploy performance, and enhancing cost efficiency. This is ideal for developers, Ops, and SREs, who want better JVM defaults without diving deep into JVM tuning guides, and develop and deploy cloud-native microservices. **Key Features** 1. Automatically benefits from battle-tested defaults for cloud-native and container workloads. 2. Optimizes resource utilization by setting JVM parameters tailored for cloud deployments. 3. Improves likelihood of first-deploy performance and cost efficiency. [Learn more](https://devblogs.microsoft.com/java/announcing-the-public-preview-of-azure-command-launcher-for-java/).
