Prerequisites

You have created and set up your “SAP BTP, Kyma Environment” either manually or by Quick Account Setup.

  • Step 1

    1. In your subaccount go to Services > Instances and Subscriptions.

    2. Scroll down to Environments and choose the three dots … in the Kyma Environment line. Then, choose Go to Dashboard.

    3. If you use the pre-configured shared SAP Cloud Identity Services tenant, SAP ID service, as an identity provider in your enterprise or trial account, the Two-Factor Authentication is enabled and will be enforced.

      Go to your authenticator application on your mobile device and add a new account. Once you scan the QR Code, a password to access Kyma will be created. Enter the password in the Passcode field.

      Enter your authenticator app password

    Congratulations, you are in Kyma dashboard!

    Your Kyma Dasboard, Cluster Details
  • Step 2

    1. In Kyma dashboard choose Modify Modules. This view lists your Kyma module.

      Your Kyma Dasboard, Cluster Details

      NOTE: When you enable Kyma, it is provisioned with the default modules added:

      - The Istio module is a service mesh with Kyma-specific configuration.

      - The API Gateway module provides functionalities that allow you to expose and secure APIs.

      - Within the SAP BTP Operator module, BTP Manager installs the SAP BTP service operator that allows you to consume SAP BTP services from your Kubernetes cluster using Kubernetes-native tools.

    2. Choose Add to open the Add Modules view. Select serverless and choose Add.

      Browsing modules

      NOTE: In this tutorial you use the Serverless module from the default release channel, namely the regular channel. You can also choose the fast channel. For more information, see Kyma Release Channels.

    3. Once the module’s state is Ready, go to Namespaces and choose the default namespace.

      The Kyma module is ready

    4. Within the namespace, you may see new menu entries added by the module you just added, in this case go to Workloads > Functions, the newly created option that comes with the Serverless module.

      Functions are now available

      NOTE: If your module is in the Ready state and you still don’t see Workloads > Functions, refresh your browser.

    Congratulations! You added the Serverless module to your Kyma environment. Now you can create serverless Functions in Kyma.
