How Anthos can help protect against vulnerabilities

​With the fast-pace of agile development cycles, it’s hard enough to keep up with business demand for on-premises resources. Add on to that the operational aspects of monitoring and alerting, and you have a full time job. But what happens when your security team approaches you with a high severity Linux kernel CVE that could allow root privileges on the host node? You’ve got containerized workloads running all over the place and no easy way to patch without disruptions.
​
That’s one way Anthos stands out. With Anthos’s ability to configure GKE’s auto-upgrade, make use of Kubernetes pod disruption budget, and new features like surge upgrades, its able to deliver less operational headaches when it comes to remediating those security vulnerabilities. You are able to ensure availability of business services and keep your business safer by utilizing these features in Anthos.
