While GKE is the main service for deploying managed Kubernetes clusters in GCP, Google also provides Anthos. Anthos is essentially an extension of GKE that lets you deploy and manage clusters hosted on infrastructure outside of Google cloud. Thus, Anthos is a good choice if you are trying to set up a hybrid cloud environment where, for example, your Kubernetes nodes are virtual machines running in your own data center, but are managed via GKE.
The Anthos setup process is quite complicated, and it varies depending on which type of infrastructure you are using. For details, see the Anthos documentation.
If you just want to run Kubernetes in Google Cloud using Google Cloud infrastructure, you don’t need Anthos. In that case, use standard GKE, following the process described above.
