Anthos support for multi-cloud is generally available

The deal breaker for my for me is the VMware component. That licensing is too costly and a silly move imo as if they could do this without that hypervisor and use something free like Xen or KVM they’d have a ton more adoption.

Google plans to have Anthos on bare metal by year's end.

For me that's one of the biggest adoption barriers because unless you already have that VMware licences, you'll have to burn a lot of CapEX to run Anthos.

I hope they don't make us pay for both the bare metal license and the by-cpu license (or it is a _very_ small amount).

Was quoted a minimum of $10k/month per region. On top of hardware and VMware licenses.

Insane.

Yeah, the cost is bizarre.

KVM/Xen don’t give you a full cross-host networking overlay (VSphere does) - that’s where a lot of the challenge lies.
