Definition

Google's hybrid and multi-cloud application platform for modernizing applications. Like having a universal translator that makes applications work the same way across different cloud environments.

Real-World Example

Large enterprises use Anthos to run applications consistently across on-premises data centers and multiple cloud providers.

Cloud Provider Equivalencies

Anthos is Google Cloud’s hybrid and multi-cloud application platform built around Kubernetes (GKE) and a consistent management layer across environments. The closest conceptual equivalent is Azure Arc, which extends Azure management and governance to on-premises and other clouds. AWS and OCI don’t have a single, direct one-product equivalent; similar outcomes are typically achieved by combining multiple services (for example, Kubernetes plus service mesh, policy, and fleet management tooling).
