Summary
In this chapter, we learned about Anthos and its most important features. We went over the Anthos deployment options, including GKE (Google Cloud), on-premises (VMware), on-premises (bare metal), AWS, attached clusters, and Azure. We looked at how to control Anthos clusters' configuration in sync with the defined configuration and enforce policies using Anthos Config Management. We learned how to control and observe traffic in microservice architectures using Anthos Service Mesh. We also understood how we can distribute inbound traffic using Anthos MCI. Finally, we learned how to run serverless-like cloud-native workloads on Anthos clusters using Cloud Run on Anthos. We compared this to running the workload on Cloud Run (fully managed). In the next chapter, we will have a look at running serverless functions with Google Cloud Functions.
