Migrate for Anthos
Migrate and modernize, together
With Migrate for Anthos, you can easily migrate and modernize your existing workloads to containers on a secure and managed Kubernetes service. Your teams can deploy, operate, and maintain existing applications more efficiently and cost effectively, using the same services, policies, and methodologies of a modern platform.
Migrate for Anthos minimizes the manual effort required to move and convert existing applications into containers on Anthos clusters and Google Kubernetes Engine. You can target workloads from virtual machines or physical servers running on-premises, in Compute Engine, or in other clouds.
Craft your ideal migration journey
Most digital transformations will be a mix of strategies. For the workloads that will benefit from containers, Migrate for Anthos delivers a fast, smooth path to modernization. For other workloads that are better suited as a VM, simply move them as is with Migrate for Compute Engine and leverage VPC network integration with GKE. Don't settle for being locked into existing infrastructure or one migration path. With Google, run your workloads how you want, where you want.

Upgrade to containers with ease
Some workloads are simply written off by IT as being “unable to upgrade.” But Migrate for Anthos strips away layers of manual effort, making migration and modernization a possibility for those workloads, even with small IT teams. Automate the extraction of existing applications from servers and VMs into containers, without having to rewrite or re-architect apps. This helps you eliminate complexity and knowledge gaps that have previously held businesses back from being able to upgrade to containers.
Capitalize on the benefits of modernization faster
Accelerating the migration and adoption of the modern platform enables the business to operate more efficiently with unified policy, management, and skill sets across existing and newly developed apps. It also enables you to unlock additional funding for more modernization and new app development by being able to reallocate budget that was previously required to keep legacy environments up.
Accelerate adoption of day-two operations
For day-two operations, save on labor and costs associated with maintaining, patching, and updating VMs and physical servers by switching to modern CI/CD pipelines, image-based management, and desired-state configuration. And easily modernize IT landscapes by accelerating the adoption of modern services such as Anthos Service Mesh, Anthos Config Management, role based access control (RBAC), Cloud Logging, and more. Thereby unifying your policy enforcement and management practices across both migrated and newly developed applications.
When you are ready to migrate existing applications to the cloud, Migrate for Anthos makes that process simple and fast. The composite organization is projected to have 58% to 75% faster app migration and modernization process when using Anthos. After you containerize your existing applications you can take advantage of Anthos GKE, both on-prem and in the cloud, and consistently manage your Kubernetes deployments.
