The platform provides a single point for managing, monitoring, logging and securing your Kubernetes footprint from a single control point. This is huge for the hybrid cloud environment, as the tooling for on-premises typically varies greatly from what is being used in the cloud.<\/li><li id=\"d2ee\" class=\"mj mk ay ao ml b mm nh mo ni mq nj ms nk mu nl mw ne nf ng\" data-selectable-paragraph=\"\"><strong class=\"ml nm\">Application Modernization.\u00a0<\/strong>Some of the hardest workloads to move to the cloud are legacy applications. For these, you typically would have to perform a \u201clift and shift\u201d first before beginning the process of modernizing the application to take advantage of cloud native concepts. With Anthos, Google provides the ability to begin the application modernization process by providing the tools developers need where they need them.<\/li><li id=\"7271\" class=\"mj mk ay ao ml b mm nh mo ni mq nj ms nk mu nl mw ne nf ng\" data-selectable-paragraph=\"\"><strong class=\"ml nm\">Consistent Development and Deployment.\u00a0<\/strong>No longer are you stuck having to choose an on-premises Kubernetes distribution versus what is running in the cloud. \u201cDevelop once, deploy anywhere\u201d with open standards that allow for deploying and maintaining the application either on-premises or in the cloud. Down the line, if existing on-premises workloads ever need to be migrated, you can expect a consistent experience in the cloud.<\/li><li id=\"eb86\" class=\"mj mk ay ao ml b mm nh mo ni mq nj ms nk mu nl mw ne nf ng\" data-selectable-paragraph=\"\"><strong class=\"ml nm\">Security Policy and Automation.\u00a0<\/strong>Ensuring consistent security policy management across a hybrid cloud environment can be challenging without a lot of investment in automation to maintain your policy configurations across your various systems. With Anthos Config Management, you get a solution that was built from the ground up to automate the simple tasks that are often the most prone to error. It will allow you to create and deploy policies across your entire Kubernetes landscape.<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c373db6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"c373db6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;ekit_we_effect_on&quot;:&quot;none&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/petabytz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/1_Z7NlkZEu4fVk5weq0S2slQ.png\" title=\"\" alt=\"\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f2e1bd8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"f2e1bd8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;ekit_we_effect_on&quot;:&quot;none&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"li lj lk ll lm fz x y paragraph-image\"><figcaption class=\"as eb nr ns ij dr x y nt nu an dj\" data-selectable-paragraph=\"\">\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Anthos components<\/figcaption><\/figure><p id=\"892c\" class=\"mj mk ay ao ml b mm mz mo na mq nb ms nc mu nd mw\" data-selectable-paragraph=\"\"><em class=\"nv\">Source:\u00a0<\/em><a class=\"bu bq nw nx ny nz\" href=\"https:\/\/cloud.google.com\/anthos\/docs\/concepts\/anthos-overview\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><em class=\"nv\">https:\/\/cloud.google.com\/anthos\/docs\/concepts\/anthos-overview<\/em><\/a><\/p><h2 id=\"3fca\" class=\"lw lx ay ao an en ly lz ma mb mc md me mf mg mh mi\">Google Has More Work To Do With Anthos<\/h2><p id=\"ca33\" class=\"mj mk ay ao ml b mm mn mo mp mq mr ms mt mu mv mw\" data-selectable-paragraph=\"\">And that\u2019s part of the problem with Anthos as it exists today.

Google aims to be the multicloud Kubernetes control plane on any infrastructure, but while ensuring the same experience, security, and performance on-premises and in Google Cloud is one thing, doing so on any infrastructure is another. Anthos cannot yet be a \u201crun anywhere you want to\u201d solution until then.<\/li><li id=\"58b0\" class=\"mj mk ay ao ml b mm nh mo ni mq nj ms nk mu nl mw ne nf ng\" data-selectable-paragraph=\"\"><strong class=\"ml nm\">Tighter integration of Cloud Run on Anthos.<\/strong>\u00a0Cloud Run is Google\u2019s managed compute platform that runs stateless containers that are invocable via HTTP requests. Built on Knative, it\u2019s Kubernetes- and Anthos-ready, but the product integration and go-to market isn\u2019t there yet. Still, it\u2019s a step up from the \u201cbring your own function-as-a-service\u201d integration exercise that enterprise developers who want to run serverless workloads on Kubernetes are faced with today.<\/li><li id=\"4cef\" class=\"mj mk ay ao ml b mm nh mo ni mq nj ms nk mu nl mw ne nf ng\" data-selectable-paragraph=\"\"><strong class=\"ml nm\">Consolidation of Cloud Functions and Cloud Run as part of the Anthos platform.<\/strong>\u00a0Serverless developers now have three Google services as potential deployment targets:\u00a0<a class=\"bu bq nw nx ny nz\" href=\"https:\/\/cloud.google.com\/appengine\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Google App Engine<\/a>,\u00a0<a class=\"bu bq nw nx ny nz\" href=\"https:\/\/cloud.google.com\/functions\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Google Cloud Functions<\/a>, and the new Cloud Run\/Cloud Run on GKE\/Knative. Without prescriptive guidance on when to choose and use each service, enterprise developers may prove wary of all of them. It would make sense for Google to consolidate around Cloud Run as a service within Anthos, much like Pivotal Function Service is a component of Pivotal Cloud Foundry.<\/li><li id=\"57e6\" class=\"mj mk ay ao ml b mm nh mo ni mq nj ms nk mu nl mw ne nf ng\" data-selectable-paragraph=\"\"><strong class=\"ml nm\">Moving beyond \u201cserverless containers.\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0Taking an existing workload and dumping it into a container doesn\u2019t make it serverless. It might still be a \u201cbig ball of mud\u201d that doesn\u2019t scale and indiscriminately burns resources. Modernizing monoliths for serverless involves teasing them apart, making individual services stateless and capable of scaling to zero. No amount of \u201clift and shift\u201d migration magic will get enterprise developers around the technical debt embedded in these monoliths.<\/li><\/ul><p id=\"2d0b\" class=\"mj mk ay ao ml b mm mz mo na mq nb ms nc mu nd mw\" data-selectable-paragraph=\"\">Anthos is Google\u2019s first step into cloud-native opinionated \u2014 and, yes, \u201chybrid\u201d and \u201cmulticloud\u201d \u2014 development platforms. Anthos isn\u2019t the first \u201ccontainer-plus-serverless\u201d platform, and we doubt it will be the last. Enterprise customers should add Anthos and Cloud Run to their OpenShift vs. Cloud Foundry bake-off evaluations while leaving room for additional on-prem entrants from Microsoft and Amazon later this year. Expect each platform provider to support the core table stakes: containers, orchestration, service mesh, API management, logging, and tracing. In the near term, look for platform differentiation in developer experiences and DevOps tools, functions as a service, support for events, and integration with unique public cloud services.<\/p><h2 id=\"d5c8\" class=\"lw lx ay ao an en ly lz ma mb mc md me mf mg mh mi\">Impact on the Future<\/h2><p id=\"49ae\" class=\"mj mk ay ao ml b mm mn mo mp mq mr ms mt mu mv mw\" data-selectable-paragraph=\"\">This vantage point is the thing that Google would intend to benefit from changing the account around the cloud-local environment. In the event that things work out precisely in accordance with the organization\u2019s vision for Anthos, this new administration will before long rise as the favored stage for running undertaking outstanding tasks at hand. With everything taken into account, the advantages of Google\u2019s push for Anthos will reach out past the business itself. The cloud-local biological system and the open source network, as well, remain to pick up from the quickened appropriation of Kubernetes.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Google Anthos : The Game Changing Move By Google What is Anthos?
