Preface
As an application developer, you can use Red Hat build of Quarkus to create microservices-based applications written in Java that run in serverless and OpenShift environments. These applications have small memory footprints and fast start-up times.
This guide describes how to configure a Quarkus application using the Eclipse MicroProfile Config method or YAML format. The procedures include configuration examples created using the Quarkus config-quickstart exercise.

JAVA_HOMEenvironment variable specifies the location of the Java SDK. Red Hat build of Open JDK is available from the Software Downloads page in the Red Hat Customer Portal (login required). - Apache Maven 3.6.2 or higher is installed. Maven is available from the Apache Maven Project website.
