Unlocking Application Optimization with OCI Java Management Service

Release Date: September 24, 2025

Oracle continues to enhance the Java Management Service (JMS) on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), empowering organizations to better manage, secure, and optimize their Java environments. The latest release introduces powerful capabilities including the Analyze Applications feature, improved Java libraries reporting with vulnerability scores, Kubernetes support for Java Flight Recordings, and task scheduling.

These updates help enterprises streamline Java lifecycle management, reduce operational overhead, and make faster, data-driven decisions.

Analyze Applications: Insights Without Agents or Fleets

The new Analyze Applications feature eliminates the need to configure fleets or install agents. Instead, you can:

  • Upload application packages such as JAR, EAR, or WAR files.

  • Request a Java migration analysis or performance optimization report.

  • Quickly review actionable results to optimize application performance and ensure compatibility.

This feature accelerates modernization efforts by reducing manual trial-and-error during migrations and upgrades.

Kubernetes Support: Flight Recordings for Cloud-Native Workloads

JMS now integrates with Kubernetes environments, allowing teams to capture and monitor Java Flight Recordings (JFR) from workloads running in Kubernetes clusters.

This provides deep JVM-level observability in containerized environments, enabling performance tuning and troubleshooting without disrupting production workloads.

Streamlined Java Libraries Reporting with Vulnerability Scores

Security remains a top enterprise priority. JMS improves Java Libraries reporting by adding vulnerability scores alongside scan results.

With this enhancement, teams can:

  • Quickly identify outdated or vulnerable libraries.

  • Prioritize remediation using severity-based scoring.

  • Make informed, faster decisions for patching and upgrading.

Expanded Support for Enterprise Java Distributions

JMS Fleet Management and Java Download now extend reporting and distribution capabilities to include the Enterprise Performance Pack (EPP) for Java 8, alongside existing JDK releases.

This ensures organizations running critical workloads on Java 8 can continue benefiting from improved performance and reliable security updates.

Task Scheduling: Automating Fleet Operations

The introduction of Task Scheduling enables automation of routine operations across JMS fleets or managed instances. Teams can now:

  • Schedule recurring scans and compliance checks.

  • Automate updates and maintenance activities.

  • Reduce manual intervention, ensuring consistency across environments.

Why This Release Matters

This release takes OCI Java Management Service beyond monitoring and into comprehensive optimization and automation. With these new capabilities:

  • Developers gain quick insights to improve performance.

  • Ops teams achieve better observability for Kubernetes-based workloads.

  • Security teams can assess risks faster with vulnerability scoring.

  • Enterprises can automate and streamline their Java management lifecycle.
