Architecting Hybrid Cloud Infrastructure with Anthos
Duration : 2 Days (16 Hours)
Architecting Hybrid Cloud Infrastructure with Anthos Course Overview:
Through a combination of engaging presentations, hands-on labs, and practical exercises, participants will acquire hands-on experience with essential technologies such as Kubernetes Engine (GKE), GKE Connect, Istio service mesh, and Anthos Config Management. These tools empower operators to effectively handle modern applications, even across multiple clusters hosted by different providers or in on-premises environments.
During the course, participants will explore various aspects of hybrid cloud infrastructure architecture, focusing on optimizing application deployment, management, and observability using Kubernetes. They will also delve into Anthos Config Management, which ensures consistent configuration across diverse environments.
Intended Audience:
- Technical employees using GCP, including customer companies, partners and system integrators: deployment engineers, cloud architects, cloud administrators, system engineers, and SysOps/DevOps engineers.
- Individuals using GCP to create, integrate, or modernize solutions using secure, scalable microservices architectures in hybrid environments.
Course Objectives:
- Connect and manage Anthos GKE clusters from GCP Console whether clusters are part of Anthos on Google Cloud or Anthos deployed on VMware.
- Understand how service mesh proxies are installed, configured and managed.
- Configure centralized logging, monitoring, tracing, and service visualizations wherever the Anthos GKE clusters are hosted.
- Understand and configure fine-grained traffic management.
- Use service mesh security features for service-service authentication, user authentication, and policy-based service authorization.
- Install a multi-service application spanning multiple clusters in a hybrid environment. Understand how services communicate across clusters.
- Migrate services between clusters.
- Install Anthos Config Management, use it to enforce policies, and explain how it can be used across multiple clusters.
