GKE attached clusters supports attaching any\n[conformant Kubernetes cluster](https://www.cncf.io/certification/software-conformance/),\nwith support for Amazon EKS clusters and Azure AKS clusters.\n\nAttaching a cluster gives you GKE Enterprise management and\ncontrol over it, along with access to a suite of additional\nGKE Enterprise configuration and control tools such as\nconnect gateway, fleets, Config Sync, and Cloud Service Mesh.\n\nBy leveraging GKE Enterprise management and control capabilities, you can:\n\n- Automate policy and security across all clusters within your fleet through [Policy Controller](/anthos-config-management/docs/concepts/policy-controller).\n- Deploy cluster configurations across your fleet through [Config Sync](/anthos-config-management/docs/config-sync-overview).\n- Monitor and manage a reliable fleet-wide service mesh through [Cloud Service Mesh](/anthos/service-mesh).\n- Authenticate and access all your clusters through a single interface, regardless of where they are, through [Connect Gateway](/anthos/multicluster-management/gateway).\n\nYou can control and monitor an attached cluster through the Google Cloud CLI or the Google Cloud console.\n\nGKE attached clusters architecture\n----------------------------------\n\n**Figure 1: GKE attached clusters architecture**\n\nGKE attached clusters represents your external Kubernetes cluster in the\n[Google Cloud resource hierarchy](/resource-manager/docs/cloud-platform-resource-hierarchy) as an *AttachedCluster*\nresource within the GKE Multi-Cloud API.\n\nThis resource lets you centrally operate the GKE Enterprise\nconfiguration and control tools stack, including the Config Sync,\nPolicy Controller, and Cloud Service Mesh products.\n\nWhen you install GKE attached clusters, a new attached cluster resource is\ncreated within your Google project as a regional resource. All metadata\nassociated with the cluster is stored in the Google Cloud region\nassociated with your attached cluster resource. This permits compliance with\ndata residency requirements.\n\nGKE attached clusters deploys a workload called the Connect Agent in your\ncluster. This agent connects back to the Connect API service on Google Cloud\nto create a secure link to Google Cloud. GKE attached clusters uses this\nsecure tunnel to manage additional GKE Enterprise features for your clusters.\n\nWhat's next\n-----------\n\n- [GKE Enterprise](/anthos/docs/concepts/overview)\n- [GKE Enterprise clusters home](/anthos/clusters/docs)"]]
