Google Cloud Anthos, introduced as a rebrand from Google Cloud Services Platform, emerged as a significant advancement in the realm of cloud computing and container orchestration. Launched to provide a flexible, cloud-agnostic container environment, Anthos leverages Kubernetes for workload orchestration and Istio for app and microservices traffic management, thereby enabling organizations to deploy and manage their applications across various environments, including on-premises and multiple public clouds. As a purely software product, Anthos can operate on existing hardware, offering a seamless bridge for organizations to modernize their legacy applications through containerization without committing exclusively to cloud VMs. This initiative by Google, detailed around August 2019, emphasizes a consistent design and set of services across on-premises and cloud deployments, facilitating workload migration and hybrid cloud strategies without forcing enterprises into an all-or-nothing cloud adoption scenario【5†source】.
Core Components and Features
At the heart of Google Cloud Anthos is a container cluster managed by Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE). Anthos extends its capabilities to support hybrid environments by integrating both the GKE managed container service and a GKE On-Prem option, thereby ensuring management and security features are consistent regardless of the deployment environment. The platform is enriched with core components like Anthos Config Management for unified policy administration across clusters, Istio on GKE for secure microservices communication, and additional tools from the GCP Marketplace for enhanced application management and development. Furthermore, services like Migrate for Anthos simplify the transition of legacy workloads to containerized formats, indicating Google's commitment to offering a comprehensive solution for hybrid and multicloud computing【5†source】.
Deployment Flexibility and Competitive Landscape
Anthos stands out by offering federated operations management, enabling the deployment and management of applications across multiple resource pools while maintaining consistent policies and practices. This universal management framework supports not just hybrid and multicloud applications but extends its capabilities to VMs as well, positioning Google at the forefront of the hybrid cloud strategy space. Unlike competitors that may lean heavily on virtualization to bridge on-premises and cloud environments, Anthos employs containers as the unifying technology, advocating for a more flexible and scalable approach to cloud-native development and legacy system modernization. This unique positioning of Anthos highlights Google's innovative approach to solving the complexities of managing distributed applications across diverse computing environments【6†source】.
