VMware will love this – it works by connecting to vSphere or by managing VMs with Anthos
Google has added support for workloads running in virtual machines to its Anthos hybrid Kubernetes platform. “While we have seen many customers make the leap to containerization, some are not quite ready to move completely off of virtual machines,” wrote Google Application Modernization Platform vice-presidents Jeff Reed and Chen Goldberg. “They want a unified development platform where developers can build, modify, and deploy applications residing in both containers and VMs in a common, shared environment,” the pair added. Enter Anthos for VMs, which can either connect to existing VMware vSphere environments and attach VMs hosted there to the Anthos control plane, or shift VMs onto Anthos using KubeVirt – a Cloud Native Computing Foundation project that offers an open-source virtualization API designed to let developers work on apps running as VMs or containers.
