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.
