The ZGC flag in the article is version-bound: `-XX:+ZGenerational` is needed to get the generational mode on JDK 21, JEP 474 made generational the default for `-XX:+UseZGC` in JDK 23, and JEP 490 removed the non-generational mode in JDK 24, so on 24 and later the flag is obsolete and only produces a warning. One tuning point the ZGC line leaves out: the collector is fully concurrent, so its main requirement is heap headroom; the tuning guide's ZGC chapter names the maximum heap size as its most important option, large enough for the live set plus the allocations made while a cycle runs, and a service moved from G1 to ZGC with the same `-Xmx` can trade pauses for allocation stalls. Shenandoah is a further low-pause collector shipped in most OpenJDK vendor builds but not in Oracle's JDK, which is why the cited guide does not list it.
