In this discussion, I am only referring to Elastic Basic and OSS versions. Elastic requires Java 7 and above to run. But, can I run **Elastic Basic** with **Amazon Corretto**? Can I run **Elastic OSS** with **Amazon Corretto**? Also, I have gone through the subscription page, but, just wanted to make sure... Elastic Basic 6.8 and 7.1 provides basic Elastic Security(X-Pack) features, can Elastic OSS support those features? ---

As you can see on the [support matrix page](https://www.elastic.co/support/matrix#matrix_jvm), all recent Elasticsearch versions require Java8 or above (depends on version). Amazon Coretto is not listed as a supported JVM, which means Elasticsearch is not tested with it. ---

According to docs: `Amazon Corretto is certified as compatible with the Java SE standard. Amazon Corretto is certified to meet the Java SE standard and can be used as a drop-in replacement for many Java SE distributions` ---

Lucene is quite demanding, and has revealed a number of JVM bugs over the years. I am not saying it will not work - just that it is not tested or supported, meaning you are likely in your own if something should go wrong. ---
