Google Cloud’s Anthos on Bare Metal with Intel® Architecture

Google Cloud customers want to modernize existing applications and build cloud- native apps anywhere to promote agility and cost savings—and that’s exactly what Google Cloud’s Anthos delivers. However, because some workloads—especially those sensitive to latency—are not suited to a virtualized environment, Google now offers Google Cloud’s Anthos on bare metal. This solution combines the application platform benefits of Anthos with the hardware/software stack control, high-performance, and cost efficiency of a bare metal environment.

Google and Intel collaborated to create verified Intel® architecture-based reference configurations for Anthos on bare metal that can provide fast insights, low latency, and high throughput. Powerful Intel® hardware features drive the predictable performance that latency-sensitive workloads require in the data center, as well as
