From the Adoptium FAQ:

> This is the project and brand name for the binaries that the Eclipse Foundation produces. You can think of these as the successor binaries to AdoptOpenJDK.

The current LTS versions are 8, 11 and 17. Supported platforms include arm32 (Linux), aarch64 (Linux & macOS), x64 (Windows, Alpine & Linux w/ glibc) and x86 (Linux).

AdoptOpenJDK used to provide OpenJ9 binaries, are those gone now with Adoptium?

I did find some OpenJ9 github site which mentioned they could not provide binaries any more, but I don't really understand why.

Correct, they've dropped OpenJ9 support during the rebranding.

As to the reason why, apparently Oracle revoked their TCK[0] license[1].
