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.
- eb0la 7y agoGoogle 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).
- gigatexal 7y agoThat will be really neat.
- tyldum 7y agoWas quoted a minimum of $10k/month per region. On top of hardware and VMware licenses. Insane.
- foobarbazetc 7y agoYeah, the cost is bizarre.
- elithrar 7y agoKVM/Xen don’t give you a full cross-host networking overlay (VSphere does) - that’s where a lot of the challenge lies.
