SPEAKER: If you are an enterprise,
chances are you have networking, storage, and compute
on multiple clouds and in your own data center.
How can you consistently secure and operate existing apps,
develop and deploy the new apps across
those disparate locations?
How can you get centralized visibility and management
of those resources?
Well, that is why Anthos exists.

Welcome to Anthos 101.
As an enterprise, it is very common
to have an existing networking, storage,
and compute on multiple clouds and in your own data centers.
On each of these platforms you need to manage infrastructure.
Let's say you use containers on the clouds
and develop apps using services on Google Cloud and AWS.
Regardless of platform, you will need policy enforcement
across your IT footprint.
To manage these across platforms,
you need monitoring and logging systems,
and you need to integrate that data
into meaningful categories, like business data,
operational data, and alerts.
Digging further, you might use operational data and alerts
to inform optimizations, automations,
and to set policies or SLOs.
You might use business data to do all those things
and to deploy third-party apps.
Then, to actually enact the changes you've decided on,
you need to act on different specific parts of the system.
That means digging into each tool for policy enforcement,
securing services, orchestrating containers, and managing
infrastructure management.
Oh, and don't forget, all of this work
is in addition to what it takes to develop and deploy
your own apps.
Now, consider repeating this set of tasks and data
across a hybrid and multi-cloud landscape.
It becomes very, very complex very quickly.
Your platform admins, SREs, DevOps
who are responsible for security and efficiency
have manual cluster by cluster management, data collection,
and information synthesis.
With this complexity, it's hard to stay current,
to understand business implications,
and to ensure compliance, not to mention the difficulty
onboarding a new hire.
Anthos helps solve these challenges.
With Anthos, you get a consistent way
to manage with similar infrastructure management,
container management, service management, and policy
enforcement across your platform.
As a result, you gain observability
across your platforms in one single place,
including business information, alerts,
and operational information.
With this information, you might decide to optimize, automate,
and set policies or SLOs, or might
rely on our machine learning models
to make automated suggestions.
You take those recommendations or make your own decisions
and apply them to different management layers.
Simple, right?
Not quite.
You may have different regions that need different policies
and also have different development, staging,
or production environments that need different permissions.
Some parts of your work may need more security.
That's where environs come in.
Environs are the way to create logical sets
of underlying Kubernetes clusters,
regardless of which platform these clusters live on.
By considering grouping and managing sets
of clusters as logical environs, you
can think about and work with your applications
at the right level of detail for what you need to do,
be it business insights over the entire system,
setting for a dev environment, or troubleshooting
data for a specific cluster.
Using environs, each part of the functional stack
can take declarative direction about configuration,
compliance, and more.
Anthos provides platform administrators a single place
to monitor and manage their landscape, including policy
control and marketplace access.
This reduces person hours in management, enforcement,
discovery, and communication.
Anthos also provides them an out-of-the-box structured view
of their entire system, including services, clusters,
and more, simplifying their view and management so they can
improve security, use resources more efficiently,
and demonstrate measurable success.
Anthos is also a platform to modernize
application development.
Why?
Because it uses environs to enforce policies and processes
and abstracts away that cluster and container management
from the application teams.
Anthos allows you to easily abstract away
infrastructure from application teams
by making it easy for them to incorporate
a wide variety of CICD solutions on top of environs,
allowing you to view and manage your applications
at the right level of detail.
Here are the key components of Anthos delivering
the capabilities we discussed.
Anthos simplifies and provides a consistent view
across your company's landscape so you
can improve security, use resources more efficiently,
innovate faster, and demonstrate measurable success.
Now, that's a pretty high-level overview of Anthos.
In the next video, we will show you
how to get started with Anthos on Google Cloud.
