Google today announced<\/a> a sizable update to its Anthos multicloud platform that lets you build, deploy and manage containerized applications anywhere, including on Amazon\u2019s AWS<\/a> and (in preview) on Microsoft Azure.<\/p>\n

Version 1.7 includes new features like improved metrics and logging<\/a> for Anthos on AWS, a new Connect gateway to interact with any cluster right from Google Cloud and a preview of Google\u2019s managed control plane for Anthos Service Mesh<\/a>. Other new features include Windows container support for environments that use VMware\u2019s vSphere platform and new tools for developers to make it easier for them to deploy their applications to any Anthos cluster.<\/p>\n

Today\u2019s update comes almost exactly two years after Google CEO Sundar Pichai originally announced<\/a> Anthos at its Cloud Next event in 2019 (before that, Google called this project the \u201cGoogle Cloud Services Platform,\u201d which launched three years ago<\/a>). Hybrid and multicloud, it\u2019s fair to say, takes a key role in the Google Cloud roadmap \u2014 and maybe more so for Google than for any of its competitors. Recently, Google brought on industry veteran Jeff Reed<\/a> to become<\/a> the VP of Product Management in charge of Anthos.<\/p>\n

Reed told me that he believes that there are a lot of factors right now that are putting Anthos in a good position. \u201cThe wind is at our back. We bet on Kubernetes, bet on containers \u2014 those were good decisions,\u201d he said. Increasingly, customers are also now scaling out their use of Kubernetes and have to figure out how to best scale out their clusters and deploy them in different environments \u2014 and to do so, they need a consistent platform across these environments.\u00a0He also noted that when it comes to bringing on new Anthos customers, it\u2019s really those factors that determine whether a company will look into Anthos or not.<\/p>\n

He acknowledged that there are other players in this market, but he argues that Google Cloud\u2019s take on this is also quite different. \u201cI think we\u2019re pretty unique in the sense that we\u2019re from the cloud, cloud-native is our core approach,\u201d he said. \u201cA lot of what we talk about in [Anthos] 1.7 is about how we leverage the power of the cloud and use what we call \u201can anchor in the cloud\u201d to make your life much easier. We\u2019re more like a cloud vendor there, but because we support on-prem, we see some of those other folks.\u201d Those other folks being IBM\/Red Hat\u2019s OpenShift and VMware\u2019s Tanzu, for example.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The addition of support for Windows containers in vSphere environments also points to the fact that a lot of Anthos customers are classical enterprises that are trying to modernize their infrastructure, yet still rely on a lot of legacy applications that they are now trying to bring to the cloud.<\/p>\n

Looking ahead, one thing we\u2019ll likely see is more integrations with a wider range of Google Cloud products into Anthos. And indeed, as Reed noted, inside of Google Cloud, more teams are now building their products on top of Anthos themselves. In turn, that then makes it easier to bring those services to an Anthos-managed environment anywhere. One of the first of these internal services that run on top of Anthos is Apigee. \u201cYour Apigee deployment essentially has Anthos underneath the covers. So Apigee gets all the benefits of a container environment, scalability and all those pieces \u2014 and we\u2019ve made it really simple for that whole environment to run kind of as a stack,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

I guess we can expect to hear more about this in the near future \u2014 or at Google Cloud Next 2021<\/a>.<\/p>\n
