Anthos – empowering enterprise platforms

Anthos is the core technology developed by Google empowering enterprise container platforms everywhere!

Enterprise IT can often be rigid, complex and expensive. Many organisations with extensive on-prem investments want to take advantage of the cloud’s scalability and innovation. However, they’re worried about getting locked into the wrong provider.

Anthos, Google open platform, lets you run apps anywhere. Simply, flexibly and securely.

Benefits

Modernise apps and infrastructure in place

Anthos lets you build and deploy modern apps in your data center, retail edge location, factory, stadium, and more. Modernise apps that need to stay on-premises with a consistent container platform anywhere.

Quickly scale large multi-cluster applications

Modernise, create, deploy, and manage global fleets of container clusters with security and operational efficiency. Connect your global fleets with a service mesh for advanced networking and observability.

Ensure consistent governance and security

Anthos delivers unified cloud-backed management across your fleet of Kubernetes clusters. Deploy standard configurations, enforce security and compliance policies, and view fleet-wide logs and metrics.

Key features

Enterprise-grade container orchestration and management service

Anthos enables you to manage GKE clusters and workloads running on virtual machines across environments. You get consistent managed Kubernetes experience with simple installs as well as upgrades validated by Google. Anthos can run on your existing virtualised infrastructure and bare metal servers without a hypervisor layer. Anthos simplifies your application stack, reduces the costs associated with licensing a hypervisor, and decreases time spent learning new skills.

Automate policy and security at scale

Define, automate, and enforce policies across environments in order to meet your organization’s unique security and compliance requirements. Anthos Config Management evaluates changes and rolls them out to all Kubernetes clusters so that your desired state is always reflected.

Fully managed service mesh with built-in visibility

Anthos Service Mesh unburdens operations and development teams by empowering them to manage and secure traffic between services while monitoring, troubleshooting, and improving application performance.

Modernising your security for hybrid and multi-cloud deployments

Anthos integrates security into each stage of the application life cycle—from develop to build to run—while enabling a defense-in-depth security strategy with a comprehensive portfolio of security controls across all of these deployment models.

CI/CD Anywhere: Google Cloud, on-premises, or other clouds

Using the Anthos platform, Cloud Build hybrid pools and Cloud Deploy, both in preview, provide the advantages of cloud-native CI/CD across anywhere you can run Kubernetes, including Google Cloud, on-premises, or other public clouds.
