Google\u2019s <\/a> Cloud Services Platform for managing hybrid clouds that span on-premise data centers and the Google cloud is coming out of beta today. The company is also changing the product\u2019s name to Anthos, a name that either refers to a lost Greek tragedy<\/a>, the name of an obscure god in the Marvel universe<\/a> or rosemary. That by itself would be interesting, but minor news. What makes this interesting is that Google also today announced that Anthos will run on third-party clouds, as well, including AWS and Azure.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will support Anthos and AWS and Azure <\/a> as well, so people get one way to manage their application and that one way works across their on-premise environments and all other clouds,\u201d Google\u2019s senior VP for its technical infrastructure, Urs H\u00f6lzle, explained in a press conference ahead of today\u2019s announcement.<\/p>\n

So with Anthos, Google will offer a single managed service that will let you manage and deploy workloads across clouds, all without having to worry about the different environments and APIs. That\u2019s a big deal and one that clearly delineates Google\u2019s approach from its competitors\u2019. This is Google, after all, managing your applications for you on AWS and Azure.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cYou can use one consistent approach \u2014 one open-source based approach \u2014 across all environments,\u201d H\u00f6lzle said. \u201cI can\u2019t really stress how big a change that is in the industry, because this is really the stack for the next 20 years, meaning that it\u2019s not really about the three different clouds that are all randomly different in small ways. This is the way that makes these three cloud \u2014 and actually on-premise environments, too \u2014 look the same.\u201d<\/p>\n

Anthos\/Google Cloud Services Platform is based on the Google Kubernetes <\/a> Engine, as well as other open-source projects like the Istio service mesh. It\u2019s also hardware agnostic, meaning that users can take their current hardware and run the service on top of that without having to immediately invest in new servers.<\/p>\n

Why is Google doing this? \u201cWe hear from our customers that multi-cloud and hybrid is really an acute pain point,\u201d H\u00f6lzle\u00a0said. He noted that containers are the enabling technology for this but that few enterprises have developed a unifying strategy to manage these deployments and that it takes expertise in all major clouds to get the most out of them.<\/p>\n

Enterprises already have major investments in their infrastructure and created relationships with their vendors, though, so it\u2019s no surprise that Google is launching Anthos with more than 30 major hardware and software partners that range from Cisco to Dell EMC, HPE and VMware, as well as application vendors like Confluent, Datastax, Elastic, Portworx, Tigera, Splunk, GitLab, MongoDB and others.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Robin.io<\/a>, a data management service that offers a hyper-converged storage platform based on Kubernetes, also tells me that it worked closely with Google to develop the Anthos Storage API. \u201cRobin Storage offers bare metal performance, powerful data management capabilities and Kubernetes-native management to support running enterprise applications on Google Cloud\u2019s Anthos across on-premises data centers and the cloud,\u201d said Premal Buch, CEO of Robin.io.<\/p>\n

Anthos is a subscription-based service, with the list prices starting at $10,000\/month per 100 vCPU block. Enterprise prices will then be up for negotiation, though, so many customers will likely pay less.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s one thing to use a service like this for new applications, but many enterprises already have plenty of line-of-business tools that they would like to bring to the cloud as well. For them, Google is launching the first beta of Anthos Migrate today. This service will auto-migrate VMs from on-premises or other clouds into containers in the Google Kubernetes Engine. The promise here is that this is essentially an automatic process and once the container is on Google\u2019s platform, you\u2019ll be able to use all of the other features that come with the Anthos platform, too.<\/p>\n

Google\u2019s H\u00f6lzle noted that the emphasis here was on making this migration as easy as possible. \u201cThere\u2019s no manual effort there,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
