IBM Java 8 Linux container images in IBM Cloud Registry

IBM Java images are available from the IBM Cloud®® Container Registry, which is the public Docker registry for IBM Cloud.

These images use Red Hat®'s Universal Base Image (UBI), Ubuntu as the operating system.

The container images use the icr.io/appcafe/ibmjava namespace.

The container image tags contain edition and release information and are available in two formats:

Multi-architecture:

<release>-<image_type>-<base_image_type>

Platform specific:

<release>-<image_type>-<base_image_type>-<architecture>

where:

<release> is 8: IBM Java, Version 8
<image_type> is one of the following values:
- sdk: IBM Java jdk package
- jre: IBM Java jre package
- sfj : IBM Java Small Footprint
<base_image_type> is one of the following values:
- ubi [-minimal]: Red Hat Universal Base Image (UBI):
  - minimal: Red Hat Universal Base Image Minimal (UBI Minimal)
- ubuntu: Ubuntu 20.04
<architecture> is one of the following values:

ubi [-minimal]: Red Hat Universal Base Image (UBI):
- amd64: Linux on x86
ubuntu: Ubuntu 20.04:
- amd64: Linux on x86
- ppc64le: Linux on POWER® LE
- s390x: Linux on IBM Z®

For example:

The multi-architecture tag “8-jdk-ubuntu” is used to pull the IBM Java, Version 8, JDK ubuntu image.
The tag “8-jdk-ubuntu-s390x” is used to pull the IBM Java, Version 8, JDK ubuntu image for Linux on IBM Z.

Notes:

To list the available IBM Semeru Runtime® images, use the IBM Cloud CLI command:
```
ibmcloud cr images --restrict appcafe/ibmjava
```
You can pull an image from the IBM Cloud Container Registry, without an IBM Cloud account. For example:
```
docker pull icr.io/appcafe/ibmjava:8-sdk-ubuntu
```
```
docker pull icr.io/appcafe/ibmjava:8-jre-ubuntu-s390x
```
