Infrastructure Modernization with Google Anthos and Apache Kafka

Google Anthos offers the benefits of cloud computing in datacenters, other clouds, and at the edge, allowing modernization of applications and infrastructure without migrating to the cloud. Infrastructure management, container management, service management, and policy management across environments provide a strong foundation for data infrastructure and applications. Confluent unifies data infrastructure on top of Anthos, enabling consistent data access across environments. Event-driven architectures are an increasingly popular strategy for decoupling microservices, with Kafka being used as the data plane across multiple environments. Deploying across edge sites and providing a consistent environment is important when managing hybrid architectures. Combining Anthos and Kafka sets the stage for a symphony of databases, applications, and data processing systems in a hybrid future.
