Introduction
SAP Cloud Platform Data Retention Manager Service is on a mission – To enable Deletion Orchestration for Business Applications on all Runtimes of SAP Cloud Platform.
After making a successful entry into Cloud Foundry a couple of years back and helping many business applications on Cloud Foundry with Deletion Orchestration, the next obvious stop is Kubernetes Runtime of SCP – SAP Cloud Platform Extension Factory, Kyma Runtime.
If you are new to SCP Data Retention Manager and would like to get an overview of the Service and its capabilities, get yourself familiarized through this Blog.
What is Kyma Runtime?
According to this recently completed CNCF Survey, the adoption rate of Cloud Native technologies in production is growing rapidly. Kubernetes is at the heart of this technological revolution. Naturally, the growth of cloud native technologies has been accompanied by the growth of the ecosystem that surrounds it.
Even at SAP, there is often a need to extend existing SAP and non-SAP solutions to create a competitive advantage and therefore a more comprehensive and unique customer experience.
With the launch of the SAP Kyma Runtime built on Kubernetes, SAP offers customers and partners an environment that allows them to build extensions by using both microservices and serverless functions.
This way it offers not only the possibility to extend one SAP solution, it also allows combining existing IT solutions to create new capabilities.
