Google Anthos in Action: Manage hybrid and multi-cloud Kubernetes clusters

Learn multicloud deployment on Anthos directly from the Google development team! Anthos delivers a consistent management platform for deploying and operating Linux and Windows applications anywhere—multi-cloud, edge, on-prem, bare metal, or VMware.

In Google Anthos in Action you will learn:

• How Anthos reduces your dependencies and stack-bloat
• Running applications across multiple clouds and platforms
• Handling different workloads and data
• Adding automation to speed up code delivery
• Modernizing infrastructure with microservices and Service Mesh
• Policy management for enterprises
• Security and observability at scale

Google Anthos in Action demystifies Anthos with practical examples of Anthos at work and invaluable insights from the Google team that built it. You’ll learn how to use this modern, Kubernetes-based cloud platform to balance costs, automate security, and run your software literally anywhere. The book is full of Google-tested patterns that will boost efficiency across the development lifecycle. It’s an absolutely essential guide for anyone working with Anthos, or delivering software in a cloud-centric world.

About the technology

The operations nightmare: modern applications run on-prem, in the cloud, at the edge, on bare metal, in containers, over VMs, in any combination. And you’re expected to handle the rollouts, dataOps, security, performance, scaling, backup, and whatever else comes your way. Google Anthos feels your pain. This Kubernetes-based system simplifies hybrid and multicloud operations, providing a single platform for deploying and managing your applications, wherever they live.
