Anthos UI

As explained in Google Anthos in Action

Anthos UI is the web-based interface for viewing and managing Anthos resources through the Google Cloud console.

Anthos UI is the Google Cloud console interface for centrally viewing, managing, monitoring, troubleshooting, and operating Anthos clusters and workloads across hybrid and multicloud environments. section 2.0 section 2.8

The interface is exposed at the Google Cloud project level, so it shows clusters registered to that project’s fleets. Its pages divide responsibilities across cluster management, service operation, configuration, security, migration, and observability. section 2.4 section 2.8

Anthos UI brings together:

  • Dashboards and cluster views for administrators and operations teams. section 2.4
  • Service Mesh, Config Management, Security, Cloud Run for Anthos, Virtual Machines, and Migrate to Containers pages. section 2.4
  • A shared operational experience for developers, business owners, and infrastructure personnel. section 2.0

Attaching an existing cluster

Register an existing Kubernetes cluster to an Anthos fleet associated with the target Google Cloud project. The cluster then becomes visible in Anthos UI, where supported Anthos capabilities such as Anthos Config Management can be enabled. section 2.0 section 2.8

How Google Anthos in Action covers it

How deep it goes
Organizes management through named console pages and explains project-level visibility and fleet registration.
Examples
Uses dashboards, cluster attachment, fleet registration, configuration management, and cross-provider resource views.
What it assumes
Requires a Google Cloud project and clusters registered to that project’s fleets for console visibility.
What you can do after
Operate Anthos resources through a shared Google Cloud console interface and view attached Kubernetes clusters.
How it connects
Connects Kubernetes clusters with Anthos Config Management, Service Mesh, security controls, Cloud Run, and observability.
