This section provides an overview of the components that are involved in this solution from a physical and logical perspective.

Anthos on-prem is hybrid cloud software that brings Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) to on-premises data centers. With Anthos clusters on VMware, we can create, manage, and upgrade Kubernetes clusters in your on-premises vSphere environment.

When we install Anthos clusters in vSphere environment, we create:

• An admin workstation
• An admin cluster
• One or more user cluster

The admin cluster runs the Anthos on-prem infrastructure, and the user clusters run our workloads.
