According to their user guide, the only patch they have is the branding change: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/corretto/latest/corretto-17-ug/p...

I'll keep using the OpenJDK Docker images.

You probably shouldn’t. Last I checked the OpenJdk docker images use the Debian builds of OpenJdk and there’s been multiple times where they’ve shipped vulnerable builds. [0] You should probably just use the Zulu builds.

They do list the additional patches they do here (for example) https://docs.aws.amazon.com/corretto/latest/corretto-8-ug/pa...

I guess v11 is a better link to share there https://docs.aws.amazon.com/corretto/latest/corretto-11-ug/p...

Wow, that's awesome - 8 had a handful of custom patches and some backports, 11 had only backports, and 17 has nothing. This is kind of the best possible story for a distribution fork!

In fairness, Java 17 has just been released; it's possible new custom patches will be introduced in future Corretto patch releases.

Still, the fact that Corretto 11 had so few backports is encouraging.
