Anthos aims to deliver on the promise of write once, run anywhere by allowing businesses to run their applications on existing on-prem hardware investments or in the public cloud.
In ablog postannouncing Anthos' multi-cloud support, vice president of product management at Google Cloud, Jennifer Lin explained that flexibility is one of the main reasons customers choose to use the service, saying:
“The flexibility to run applications where you need them without added complexity has been a key factor in choosing Anthos—many customers want to continue to use their existing investments both on-premises as well as in other clouds, and having a common management layer helps their teams deliver quality services with low overhead.”
Virtual machines
With the latest release, Google Cloud is also making it easier for organizations to manage diverse environments, with deeper support forvirtual machines, which will let them extend Anthos' management framework to the types of workloads that make up the majority of existing systems.
Through Anthos Config Management, organizations can now manage policies for their virtual machines on Google Cloud in the same way that they do forcontainers. This will help reduce configuration errors due to manual intervention while also speeding up time to delivery.
