Ohai Chefs!

Chef-Backend 2.1.0 has been released and is available for [download](https://downloads.chef.io/chef-backend/stable/2.1.0).

- Dependency Updates

- We have moved from OracleJDK to AdoptOpenJDK. Oracle has changed its license  
on newer versions of the JDK. The OpenJDK project is delivering security  
updates in a version with a more open source friendly licensing policy.

- Add support for RHEL 8

- Elasticsearch is allocated 1/3rd of available memory upto 32GB instead of  
1/4th. Elasticsearch recommends use 1/2 of the available system memory upto 32GB.  
We slightly reduced the allocted memory to allow room for other Chef Backend services.

- Deprecations:

Thank you!
