I see the official upcoming Confluent 4.1 Docker images are still using
Debian 8 (Jessie) and the July 2016 release of Azul JDK 8, 8u102-8.17.0.3.

https://github.com/confluentinc/cp-docker-images/blob/4.1.x/debian/base/Dockerfile

Wouldn't it make more sense to use the recent supported/LTS versions of
these products: Debian 9 (Stretch) and the January 2018 Azul JDK 8,
8u162-8.27.0.7?

Or, if you are using the Azul JDK on Debian, maybe it makes sense to base
off of the official Azul JDK Debain Docker image as in `FROM
azul/zulu-openjdk-debian:8`

The infrastructure team at my company is pushing everyone to update all
Debian 8 servers to Debian 9, which makes sense now that Debian 9 has been
out a while and had patches and is the preferred Debian version to use for
new servers. I could make my own Confluent Docker images, but it's
nicer/safer to use the official ones if possible.

thanks!
