Quarkus: dockerfile.jvm vs dockerfile.native

Question

can you explain to me what is the difference between a Dockerfile.jvm and Dockerfile.native image? I know that each one has its purpose based image, but I have not understood the utility of each and in what context I use them?

Thank you:)

Answer 1

The name is self explicit: you can build a Quarkus application either as a standard Java application or as a native executable using GraalVM (and -Dnative ).

If you do the former, then use Dockerfile.jvm , if you do the latter, use Dockerfile.native .
