Hybrid and Multi-cloud Flashcards
Anthos
Anthos is a solution designed for building and managing modern applications running across hybrid cloud environments. Anthos is an integrated platform incorporating cloud-based services and software components, including:
- Anthos Config Management
- Anthos Identity Service
- Anthos Integration with Google Cloud Platform Services
- Anthos Premium Software
- Anthos Service Mesh
- Google Kubernetes Engine
- Connect
- Hub
Anthos Config Management
Anthos Config Management is a policy management solution for enabling consistent configuration across multiple Kubernetes clusters. Anthos Config Management allows you to specify one single source of truth and then enforce those policies on your cluster.
Anthos Identity Service
Anthos Identity Service is an authentication service that lets customers bring existing identity solutions for authentication to multiple Anthos environments. Users can log in to and access their Anthos clusters from the command line or from the Google Cloud console, all using their existing identity providers.
Anthos Integration with Google Cloud Platform Services
Google Cloud Platform services and components may be used in connection with Anthos deployments, including Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE), Cloud Logging, Cloud Monitoring, Traffic Director, and Google Cloud Platform Marketplace.
Anthos Premium Software
Anthos includes the software components listed below as Premium Software.
Anthos Service Mesh
Anthos Service Mesh is a managed service mesh service that includes
(i) a managed certificate authority that issues cryptographic certificates that identify customer workloads within the Anthos Service Mesh for mutual authentication
(ii) telemetry for customers to manage and monitor their services. Customers receive details showing an inventory of services, can understand their service dependencies, and receive metrics for monitoring their services. For clarity this service does not include Anthos Service Mesh – Software (see below regarding Premium Software).
Google Kubernetes Engine
Google Kubernetes Engine, powered by the open source container scheduler Kubernetes, enables you to run containers on Google Cloud Platform. Kubernetes Engine takes care of provisioning and maintaining the underlying virtual machine cluster, scaling your application, and operational logistics such as logging, monitoring, and cluster health management.
Connect
Connect is a service that enables both users and Google-hosted components to interact with clusters through a connection to the in-cluster Connect software agent
Hub
Hub is centralized control-plane that enables a user to register clusters running in a variety of environments, including Google’s cloud, on premises in customer datacenters, or other third party clouds. Hub provides a way for customers to centrally manage features and services on customer-registered clusters.
Cloud Run for Anthos
Cloud Run for Anthos lets you run stateless containers on Anthos.
