Policy and config management for VMs
Anthos now supports the same configuration management for VMs on Google Cloud as you would use for containers, through the Config Management console.
Google Cloud is also working on bringing support for applications running on VMs into the Anthos Service Mesh in the coming months. This would allow for consistent security and policy management across workloads in Google Cloud, on-premises, and in other clouds.
The central idea around these developments is to allow operators to set dynamic configurations and automated security and identity policies that are linked to certain workloads and namespaces, regardless of where they are running. Using Kubernetes also allows Google Cloud to try and combat what Lin calls “config drift” by automatically checking the operational state of configurations against the desired state.
