Leyden's AOT support is not specifically geared towards containerized workloads, AFAICS. It's a general trend in the Java world though to bundle the JVM alongside applications, potentially creating a tailored JVM distribution with just a subset of all the available modules of the SDK. The model where one JVM is installed on a server and multiple applications are using it is becoming more and more rare. In that current model, a JVM upgrade would happen when distributing a new version of the application using it.
I've been out of the Java world a while - you spotted exactly what I was thinking of, which was a global JVM deployment that everything used. Or at least an app container that lots of things used. Thanks for the update.
