Use cases

Use cases

Use case
Modernize existing Java applications with Anthos

Java application modernization consists of three stages: lifting and modernizing suitable applications from running in VMs to running in containers without rewriting any code; deploying containerized applications to Anthos by using modern continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD) practices; and refactoring applications to OSS application stacks, modern frameworks, and microservices over time. Learn more.

Reference pipeline for modernizing Java apps
Use case
Modern CI/CD with Anthos

Modernize your approaches to application configuration, continuous integration, policy management, and deployment automation with expert guidance from experienced Kubernetes and Google Cloud engineers. Traditional software development and delivery often meant expensive and immobile proprietary tools. Google Cloud's approach uses open source, making it portable and vendor neutral. Learn more.

Modern CI/CD with Anthos
Use case
Anthos at the Edge

Run applications closer to your end users, beyond your data centers and public cloud environments, wherever you need it—whether it’s a retail store, branch office, remote site, or telco edge. Learn more.
