It's like Google and Amazon decided to swap roles in the "clearly naming your product" game for this line of products.
"EKS Anywhere" is a lot more clear than "Anthos".
Granted, "Anthos" has grown into something of a larger brand for GCP, but GCP is usually a lot more literal than that.

- cpitman 5y agoFor what it's worth, the analogue to Anthos is AWS Outpost. But you could argue Outpost still has a more clear name for what it is, although I wonder if they actually thought through the definition of the word: a small military camp or position at some distance from the main force, used especially as a guard against surprise attack.
- theginger 5y agoWasn't at all clear to me what it does. "EKS Anywhere" doesn't make sense. to me the 4 main benefits of EKS is 1. managed control plain. 2. ebs storage integration. 3. amazon vpc network integration. 4. IAM integration. EKS anywehere provides none of these, at best maybe it is providing similar networking behaviour, but that is actually happening with a 3rd part CNI, so even if it is consistent which i am no convinced it is, i don't need eks anywhere for it at all. I would have expected it to be some sort of system that would let me use my EKS master to run nodes anywhere
- emptysongglass 5y agoNumber 1 benefit of EKS to me is Fargate pods, which don't look to be available in EKS-A.
