Recently, Google announced<\/a> on their blog the general availability of Anthos<\/a>,\n a service for hybrid cloud and workload management that runs on the \nGoogle Kubernetes Engine (GKE). Furthermore, besides running on the \nGoogle Cloud Platform (GCP), it also allows customers to manage \nworkloads running on third-party clouds like AWS and Azure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anthos is based on the Cloud Services Platform<\/a>\n which Google rolled out last year for building and managing services in\n GCP or on-premise. Google will now make Anthos\u2019 hybrid functionality \ngenerally available both on Google Cloud Platform (GCP), via Google Kubernetes Engine<\/a> (GKE), and in a customers’ data center with GKE On-Prem<\/a> – allowing them to manage workloads running on third-party clouds, like AWS and Azure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Furthermore, Anthos will provide customers with the freedom to \ndeploy, run and manage their applications on the cloud of their choice, \nwithout requiring administrators and developers to learn different \nenvironments and APIs.

With Anthos, customers will get a “100% software-based solution” that\n they can get up and running on their existing hardware\u2014with no forced \nstack refresh. Darryl West, Group CIO, HSBC, said in the same Google \nannouncement blog post:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At HSBC, we needed a consistent platform to deploy both on-premises \nand in the cloud. Google Cloud’s software-based approach for managing \nhybrid environments provided us with an innovative, differentiated \nsolution that was able to be deployed quickly for our customers.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Also, customers will benefit that Anthos is based on Google\u2019s managed\n Kubernetes service GKE \u2013 allowing them to get the latest feature \nupdates and security patches automatically. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With many enterprises having significant investments in their \ninfrastructure and relations with their partners, Google has also \npartnered with more than 30 major hardware and software partners that \nrange from Cisco to Dell EMC, HPE and VMware, as well as application \nvendors like Confluent, Datastax, Elastic, Portworx, Tigera, Splunk, \nGitLab, MongoDB and others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a Techcrunch article about Anthos, Premal Buch<\/a>, CEO of Robin.io<\/a>, a partner that worked closely with Google to develop the Anthos Storage API, said<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Robin Storage offers bare-metal performance, powerful data management\n capabilities and Kubernetes-native management to support running \nenterprise applications on Google Cloud\u2019s Anthos across on-premises data\n centers and the cloud.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Google’s release of Anthos will further fuel a fierce competition with other public cloud vendors. Frank Gens<\/a>, SVP and chief analyst for IDC, said in a ZDNet article<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Google’s competitors also understand that the cloud needs to be \nanywhere customers want it to be. In the last 24 months, all the major \npublic cloud players — Google, Microsoft, IBM, and AWS — have been \nintroducing technologies and products that bring their public cloud \ncapabilities to customer on-prem and edge locations. In the next five \nyears we’ll see a new battle for cloud leadership around this ‘cloud \neverywhere’ vision.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Although there is a \u2018 cloud everywhere vision\u2019, a respondent on a hacker news thread stated<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Buy into Kubernetes, buy into Google Anthos, have the appearance of \nflexibility, but get used to GCP’s tooling, quirks, documentation, etc.,\n and before long you’re considering GCP as the first option for all new \ndevelopment.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Besides Anthos, Google is also launching the first beta of Anthos Migrate<\/a>,\n a service that will auto-migrate VMs from on-premises or other clouds \ninto containers in the Google Kubernetes Engine. With Anthos Migrate, \ncustomers will have an automatic migration process and once the \ncontainer is on Google\u2019s platform, they will be able to use all of the \nother features that come with the Anthos platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Google offers Anthos as a subscription-based service, with the list prices<\/a> starting at $10,000\/month per 100 vCPU block. More details on Anthos are available on the website<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
