Hi Enthusiasts,

Often we are asked by our customers about the possibilities to integrate their SAP workloads with native hyperscaler services. SAP Cloud Platform's cloud foundry environment provides a possibility to provision and to consume native hyperscaler services. In this blog post, let's see how this is enabled with Microsoft Azure using the Open Service Broker for Azure(OSBA).

OSBA is an open-source API server based on the Open Service Broker API specification. It helps with provisioning managed services in the Microsoft Azure public cloud. The concepts of achieving this are based on Cloud Foundry and service brokers. The step-by-step tutorial on how to achieve this is available in the official documentation. The following image depicts a high-level overview of the steps described in the documentation:



Once the above-depicted integration is implemented, Azure native services such as Azure Database for MySQL, Azure Cosmos DB and so on are available in Cloud Foundry service marketplace as shown below:



With SAP's multi-cloud strategy, we strive to provide our customers with seamless integration and reuse experience. Stay tuned for more use-cases and scenarios using the native services and I will be happy to hear your feedback as comments below.

 

Cheers,


Harini
