Google Support is not easy.

But I wonder if it is because Anthos is not right for your company, it is primarily from my understanding companies with big VMWare setups and the price for Anthos is heavy.

Why will you want to use Anthos? I was at the Google Cloud Next where it was announced and was also excited, but asked a lot about from my closer Google relations and it was not something for the public was my learnings. Very complicated, heavy and expensive.

we want anthos multi-cloud K8S so that we can launch private cloud clusters within customers VPCs. we thought anthos was a good way to do this, maybe.

looking at the market for multi-cloud k8s, anthos seems like a leader. we were using it with GKE Autopilot and similar tech with less overhead than, say, a VMware fleet.

just using Anthos Config Sync and perhaps Service Mesh isn't that heavy, and didn't require much change from our existing k8s configs.

that being said, the platform seems to fall short in other ways (cost, support, docs).
