The idea to write Google Anthos in Action came after discussions with hundreds of customers interested in managing applications anywhere, delivering software faster, and protecting applications and the software supply chain. Customers wanted to better understand how Anthos can help them manage their application deployments in traditional on-prem setups, at the edge, and in cloud native and multicloud environments. They were interested in achieving the benefits of containers, serverless, infrastructure as code, and service meshes to improve productivity and velocity. They wanted to understand how to guarantee and increase security in each stage of the application life cycle with automatization and transparent policy management.
Google Anthos in Action brings together the collective expertise of Googlers passionate about Kubernetes, serverless, and Anthos, as well as Google Cloud Certified Fellows, an elite group of cloud architects and technical leaders who are experts in designing enterprise solutions.
Google Anthos in Action would not be possible without the work of countless fellow travelers (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fellow_traveller).
