<p>What is meaning of Quarkus Tag line (A Kubernetes Native Java stack)</p>

<pre><code>A Kubernetes Native Java stack tailored for OpenJDK HotSpot and GraalVM, crafted from the best of breed Java libraries and standards. (https://quarkus.io)
</code></pre>

<p>Does this means Quarkus Project deploy on Kubernetes or Container Service made on Kubernetes?</p>

<p>It means it has been designed with Kubernetes and more generally containers in minds.</p>

<p>That means a couple of things:</p>

<ul>
<li>density: we want to improve the density of the Java applications in container by reducing the memory usage;</li>
<li>fast startup: we need to be able to start fast, be it for auto-scaling or for serverless workload;</li>
<li>we also need to be container-friendly: this is mostly about providing the necessary tools to easily deploy in a cloud environment.</li>
</ul>

<p>That being said, it also runs perfectly well on a physical server or on whatever you want to host it. It's just that the container world brings some additional constraints.</p>
