Architecting Hybrid Cloud Infrastructure with Anthos

4 courses
6 hours

This path will teach you how to use Anthos in modernizing, managing, and observing microservice-based applications and services that span multiple clusters in GCP, on-premises, or other cloud providers. This path is intended for technical engineers, architects, and administrators using Google Cloud Platform (GCP), Kubernetes, and Istio to create, integrate, or modernize solutions.

Courses in this path

Beginner

This beginner course builds upon the prerequisite courses from the Architecting with Google Kubernetes Engine learning path. The Anthos modernization platform is introduced with recommended options for attacking problems introduced by microservices architectures, and hybrid cloud environments.

Multi-Cluster, Multi-Cloud with Anthos

by Google Cloud
1h 50m

Intermediate

In this course, you'll learn how to use Anthos and service mesh to decouple your development teams from your operations teams to independently scale and iterate with consistency and agility.

Cloud Operations and Service Mesh with Anthos

by Google Cloud
1h 25m

Anthos on Bare Metal

by Google Cloud
1h 21m

Advanced

In this course you'll learn about configuring, managing, and enforcing policy for your multi-cluster services. You'll use Anthos GKE, Anthos Config Management and multi-cluster control-plane topologies to enable and secure your applications and services across multiple environments.
