Amazon Corretto Crypto Provider ACCP Is a Java library you can install using Maven or Gradle that works with any JDK 8 on Linux x86_64. It has Amazon in the name because Amazon wrote the library....

The name might be awkward, and codeguru might be slanted towards suggesting open source libraries written at Amazon, but it is about as neutral as can be, not even requiring you to use Amazon’s OpenJDK distro.

Why does Amazon have an OpenJDK district though? Because sometimes Amazon sees performance issues at scale that they have a hot fix for. Then they share the patch with the wider OpenJDK community and have discussions about if there are better approaches to fix. Amazon has been one of the top contributors to OpenJDK releases recently (typically in top 3 for contributions to a given release), so they really are upstreaming patches.
