PRIYANKA VERGADIA: Who doesn't love saving money?
Stay tuned to learn the secrets of cost optimization
with Anthos.

I'm Priyanka, and welcome to Anthos 101.
In the next five minutes, we're going
to cover five ways to reduce your costs using Anthos.
So let's jump into the five in five.
Number one, improving visibility.
Imagine you have an application that
was built on premises years ago but has highly variable usage.
How awesome it would be to move it
to the cloud to take advantage of auto-scaling,
so you can pay for resources when you need them
and not all the time?
On the other hand, imagine you have
an app that is running in the cloud and that
has pretty consistent traffic patterns,
and you happen to have capacity on premises.
Why not move it there and leverage your existing
investments?
Now, we know that Anthos provides consistency
and portability across hybrid and multi-cloud environments,
which allows you to see all of the resources you're consuming
and easily balance and re-balance them across those
environments, which means--
SPEAKER: [INAUDIBLE]
PRIYANKA VERGADIA: Number two, reducing operational overhead.
Now, imagine your platform operations team,
which is responsible for configuring, patching,
and releasing, not to mention sometimes migration from one
environment to another.
It is a huge overhead to do all that
across clouds and on premises.
With Anthos, you get a single pane of glass
for management and configuration of resources,
which improves productivity.
Similarly, your security team that creates, deploys,
and enforces security policies across your application
development life cycles, with Anthos,
you get to consistently apply security policies across all
your applications, spanning cloud and on-prem,
which means--
SPEAKER: [INAUDIBLE]
PRIYANKA VERGADIA: With the efficiencies gained,
your teams can focus their energy
on building great applications.
Number three, modernizing monolithic apps.
Every organization has at least a few monolithic applications
that are costly to scale and manage.
While Google Cloud supports common management
of virtual machines and containers,
I'm sure you're already looking to the future of breaking down
your monolithic applications into container-based
micro-services to scale and manage
your resources efficiently.
Using Migrate for Anthos, you can turn your VMs
into container-based apps without having to re-architect
or re-platform manually.
This helps you simplify operations,
such as dynamic scaling, and integrate with other Anthos
services, like service mesh, for better resource monitoring.
And by containerizing your app, you're
able to pack more resources on less infrastructure, leading
to--
SPEAKER: [INAUDIBLE]
PRIYANKA VERGADIA: Number four, removing
the need for hypervisor.
If you're running Kubernetes applications on prem,
you may begin to assess the need for third-party hypervisors.
So we announced that later in 2020 you will be able to run
Anthos with no third-party hypervisors,
further eliminating the management overhead of yet
another vendor relationship and reducing--
SPEAKER: Costs.
PRIYANKA VERGADIA: Number five, optimization tools
available in Google Cloud Marketplace.
If you're already running Kubernetes and looking
to optimize costs, check out Google Cloud Marketplace,
which offers solutions from commercial partners
and open source projects that take innovative approaches
to monitor and report on resources
running within your clusters.
These Kubernetes applications are pre-integrated with Anthos
and deploy quickly, saving you--
well, saving you time, which saves--
SPEAKER: Costs.
PRIYANKA VERGADIA: Often, circumstances
beyond our control force changes in budgets
and send us into a cost-saving mode.
As you assess the benefits of adopting Anthos,
consider the cost optimizations you
can realize with improved operations,
consistent monitoring, modernization, bare metal,
and partner technologies.
