Prerequisites
- You’ve configured the respective entitlements, enabled the Kyma runtime in your subaccount, and created an SAP HANA Cloud service instance in the SAP BTP cockpit. Follow the steps in the Setting Up SAP BTP and Kyma Runtime for Deployment tutorial that is part of the Application Lifecycle Management using CAP Operator tutorial group.
- You have an enterprise global account in SAP BTP. To use services for free, you can sign up for an SAP BTPEA (SAP BTP Enterprise Agreement) or a Pay-As-You-Go for SAP BTP global account and use the free tier services only. See Using Free Service Plans.
- You have a platform user. See User and Member Management.
- You’re an administrator of the global account in SAP BTP.
- You have a subaccount in SAP BTP to deploy the services and applications.
- For Windows, you need Chocolatey. Chocolatey is a package manager that speeds up and eases installation of the tools in this tutorial. See how to install Chocolatey in Setup/Install.
- You’ve prepared a container registry and you’ve logged in to the container registry through your CLI. A container registry is a repo where you can push your Docker images. You can use any container registry offering as long as it can be reached from the public internet. In case if you don’t have access to a container registry, you can make use of the Docker Registry Community Module from Kyma.
