SAP BTP, Kyma runtime
A fully managed Kubernetes runtime on SAP BTP, based on the open-source project Kyma, where extensions to SAP solutions run as containerised microservices and serverless Functions.
SAP BTP, Kyma runtime is a fully managed Kubernetes runtime based on the open-source project Kyma, where an extension to an SAP solution runs as containerised microservices, serverless Functions, or both. The service mesh and connectivity are managed, built on open-source components and open standards. Extensions built on it are API- and event-based and triggered on demand, and they consume SAP and non-SAP applications. The runtime scales by consumption, and a Standard cluster is deployed on AWS, Google Cloud or Microsoft Azure; there are also a free plan on Amazon Web Services and a trial.

- Kyma Integration with SAP Cloud Logging. Part 2: Let's ship some tracesKyma Integration with SAP Cloud Logging. Part 2: Let's ship some tracesWalks through shipping traces from SAP BTP, Kyma runtime to SAP Cloud Logging: a Kyma TracePipeline resource pointed at the service binding's OTLP endpoint, an Istio Telemetry resource that sets the mesh-wide sampling percentage, and Cloud Logging's Trace Analytics view to filter the resulting spans by service name or request ID. For a multitenant JavaScript CAP application it instruments with @cap-js/telemetry, naming the npm packages to add, and covers Cloud Native Buildpacks and manual Istio header propagation for services outside CAP.gabbi, published 2024-04-19gabbi, SAP Community
- Ship your own sandboxed AI operations agent to Kyma in two hoursShip your own sandboxed AI operations agent to Kyma in two hoursAn operations agent built and then broken on purpose: the abstract has participants deploy a reasoning agent to SAP BTP, Kyma runtime, connect it to SAP AI Core, give it observability over the runtime and cause a failure for it to diagnose, the operations automation concern with an agent doing the diagnosis. Patterns for cost control and monitoring are promised at the end; the agent framework and how the sandbox is drawn are not named.
