Anthos lets you build and deploy modern apps in your data center, retail edge location, factory, stadium, and more. Modernize apps that need to stay on-premises with a consistent container platform anywhere.
Scale large multi-cluster applications
Modernize, create, deploy, and manage global fleets of container clusters with security and operational efficiency. Connect your global fleets with a service mesh for advanced networking and observability.
Ensure consistent governance and security
Anthos delivers unified cloud-backed management across your fleet of Kubernetes clusters. Deploy standard configurations, enforce security and compliance policies, and view fleet-wide logs and metrics.
Key features
Key features
Enterprise-grade container orchestration and management service
Anthos enables you to manage GKE clusters and workloads running on virtual machines across environments. You get consistent managed Kubernetes experience with simple installs as well as upgrades validated by Google. Anthos can run on your existing virtualized infrastructure and bare metal servers without a hypervisor layer. Anthos simplifies your application stack, reduces the costs associated with licensing a hypervisor, and decreases time spent learning new skills.
Automate policy and security at scale
Define, automate, and enforce policies across environments in order to meet your organization’s unique security and compliance requirements. Anthos Config Management evaluates changes and rolls them out to all Kubernetes clusters so that your desired state is always reflected.
Fully managed service mesh with built-in visibility
Anthos Service Mesh unburdens operations and development teams by empowering them to manage and secure traffic between services while monitoring, troubleshooting, and improving application performance.
Modernizing your security for hybrid and multi-cloud deployments
Anthos integrates security into each stage of the application life cycle—from develop to build to run—while enabling a defense-in-depth security strategy with a comprehensive portfolio of security controls across all of these deployment models.
CI/CD Anywhere: Google Cloud, on-premises, or other clouds
Using the Anthos platform, Cloud Build hybrid pools and Cloud Deploy, both in preview, provide the advantages of cloud-native CI/CD across anywhere you can run Kubernetes, including Google Cloud, on-premises, or other public clouds.

Use cases
Use cases
Java application modernization consists of three stages: lifting and modernizing suitable applications from running in VMs to running in containers without rewriting any code; deploying containerized applications to Anthos by using modern continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD) practices; and refactoring applications to OSS application stacks, modern frameworks, and microservices over time. Learn more.
Modernize your approaches to application configuration, continuous integration, policy management, and deployment automation with expert guidance from experienced Kubernetes and Google Cloud engineers. Traditional software development and delivery often meant expensive and immobile proprietary tools. Google Cloud's approach uses open source, making it portable and vendor neutral. Learn more.
As your teams standardize on Kubernetes, migrating from existing platforms like Cloud Foundry is often the biggest challenge. Kf was designed to help your teams minimize any disruption to developer workflows during the migration to Anthos. Kf enables a phased migration journey, with the first phase focused on application platform standardization, and the second phase focused on app modernization. Learn more.
