In this final article of my series of blog posts about efficient DevOps with SAP BTP, I plan to give a first glimpse on the planned offerings for the overarching Automate & Optimize phase of SAP’s DevOps portfolio – for an overview of the overall offering and all categories, please start with this blog post.
In the Automate & Optimize phase, your DevOps team shall focus on optimizing the tasks, procedures and efforts for handling the complete lifecycle of your apps.

The following figure shows an early mockup of the overview pane such a management service could provide.

I plan to provide more insights here, as soon as we have elaborated further on the actual scope of this planned central service – so, please follow this blog post to get informed about upcoming updates. And if you should have any ideas or requirements that you would like to be considered, please do not hesitate to reach out to me anytime!
With this, we reached the end of the blog post series – thanks a lot for joining this little journey about how to apply DevOps principles efficiently for your projects around developing and operating apps on SAP BTP!

And please feel free to reach out to me in case of questions and to share any experience you made with applying DevOps principles around your projects running on our platform!
