Benefits of modernising applications with Kubernetes and containerisation:
There are many reasons why organisations are seeking to modernise their applications using containerisation and Kubernetes.
Containers are portable, which means that they can be easily moved from one environment to another. This makes it easy to deploy applications on different platforms, such as on-premise data centres, public clouds and edge devices.
Containerised applications can be scaled up or down easily, which makes them ideal for applications that need to handle fluctuating traffic. Kubernetes can automatically scale containerised applications up or down based on demand, which helps save money on cloud resources.
Kubernetes and containerisation can improve security. Containers are isolated from each other, which helps to protect applications from security vulnerabilities.
Kubernetes provides centralised management and orchestration of containers. This makes it easier to keep track and troubleshoot applications to ensure that they are running smoothly.
Kubernetes enables faster application deployment by streamlining the deployment process, allowing for rapid and consistent application updates. This agility results in faster time-to-market and reduced development cycles.
Kubernetes enables seamless updates and rollbacks. Rolling updates and rollbacks of applications ensures minimal disruption during deployment of new features and easy reversion in case of issues.
Anthos by Google Cloud delivered by GFT
Anthos simplifies the application stack, can reduce costs, and helps meet security and compliance requirements.
Anthos is a good fit for hybrid cloud deployments because it allows organisations to run their applications consistently across both on-premise and public cloud environments. Anthos provides several features that help organisations manage and secure their hybrid cloud deployments.
Anthos Config Management enables organisations to automate policy and security at scale. It evaluates changes and rolls them out to all Kubernetes clusters within the estates, so that the desired state is always reflected.
Anthos Service Mesh is a fully managed service mesh that improves application observability and enables development teams to manage and secure traffic between services, as well as monitor, troubleshoot, and improve application performance.
Anthos integrates security into each stage of the application life cycle, from development through build to run. It enables a defence-in-depth security strategy with a comprehensive portfolio of security controls across all deployment models. You can implement software supply chain security by using services such as Binary Authorisation to ensure that trusted containers are deployed and Artifact Analysis to scan containers for vulnerabilities.
Migrate to Containers minimises the manual effort required to move and convert existing applications into containers.
Anthos enables organisations to deploy their applications anywhere. Anthos on bare metal is a deployment option to run Anthos on physical servers in your data centre. Anthos on bare metal extends Anthos to new scenarios such as edge locations and supports for your mission-critical applications.
Anthos Multi-Cloud enables organisations to provision and manage GKE clusters running on AWS and Azure infrastructure through a centralised Google Cloud backed control plane. This means that your team can have a consistent experience to create, manage and update GKE clusters, regardless of which public cloud you are using.
