Google Anthos from the Eyes of a Kubernetes Developer
This week, analyst Janakiram MSV launches an exclusive series on The New Stack, about Google Cloud Platform’s Kubernetes service, Anthos. Each part of the series focuses on a specific aspect of Anthos. The series covers cluster registration, Anthos configuration management, and launching “click to deploy” applications from the GCP Marketplace.
The Google Cloud Platform formally launched Anthos at Cloud Next 2019. Anthos is one of the rare technologies from Google to attain general availability (GA) status in such a short time. Despite becoming generally available, Anthos was not a self-service enabled GCP offering. It took almost a year for it to show up in the GCP console. Unlike other GCP services, the documentation was sparse and incomplete.
Apart from the obvious fact that Anthos is based on the Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE), the community didn’t know much about the platform. But things have started to change significantly in 2020. Anthos is now available in the Google Cloud Console. The documentation provides detailed information about the platform architecture, installation, and configuration of various components.
