ABAP Cloud Developer Trial

SAP’s Docker image of an AS ABAP with its SAP HANA database, free for education and demo purposes on a developer’s own machine.

An AS ABAP with its SAP HANA database as one image, sapse/abap-cloud-developer-trial, tagged 2025, which a developer starts with docker run under the fixed host name vhcala4hci on a machine of their own. It takes about 23 GB compressed and over 53 GB unpacked, and SAP states at least 16 GB of RAM for Docker and recommends 32 GB. SAP offers it free for education and demo purposes only, with SAP Community support and no primary support, and pulling it needs a Docker Hub account. The ABAP licence in the image lasts three months and is renewed by importing a demo licence.
