3 min readMany vendors have attempted to provide a hybrid platform that meets the need of deploying workloads based on their security, availability, cost, performance, and supporting data requirements. Examples include CloudFoundry, HP CSA, OpenShift, and others. While the technologies and capabilities produced have been commendable, none have delivered the truly hybrid dream of:
- Providing a truly universal underlying infrastructure system supported by older licensed legacy software as well as modern cloud computing platforms
- Providing true freedom of choice on where assets live (allowing the needs, regulations, and cost to determine the deployment platform not vendor lock in)
- A universal and futureproof development approach, solving the need for refactoring—hopefully for good
Beyond enabling companies to build, deploy, and manage applications anywhere—securely and consistently—Anthos empowers app modernization on existing virtual machines (VMs), as well as cloud-native deployment in the evolving hybrid, multi-cloud environment. Anthos for multi-cloud provides consolidation of operations across on-premises, Google Cloud—and now AWS—to drive business efficiency and agility, while reducing overhead and improving developer productivity.
Bottom line: Anthos was built to provide a truly hybrid and multi-cloud platform to eliminate legacy limitations and provide scalable growth benefit in uncertain times—at the speed of digital. Anthos for AWS means that it is no longer an either/or proposition for cloud selection and reliance. With Azure integration on the way, Anthos provides the hybrid ideal that others have attempted, but failed to deliver.
