Kyma environment activation

[BODHISATTWA__20]

Hello

I see that we have Serverless Runtime as our microservice in SAP BTP .

So does that mean , we will have the Kyma environment by default , because I am not able to see that in overview tab

Hi Bodhisattwa,

Does your question concern the SAP BTP trial environment?

The way this works with BTP is that you first need to check Entitlements > Service Assignments. This corresponds to the commercial contract and needs to be enabled by SAP for your account. For trial accounts this is enabled "by default" (as illustrated).

Next, as BTP administrator you can assign service assignments to subaccounts (hosted by selected cloud providers in specific regions, e.g. Azure in the Netherlands). This enables the entitlement for instantiation.

Next, when connected to the subaccount, you can subscribe to the service (subscriptions) or create a service instance.

For Kyma, the steps are documented in the BTP guide.

And in addition to Deny's answer. The service that you show in the screen is NOT related to Kyma, it's just another service/runtime (not a microservice) that is part of BTP.

capture.pngHello denys.kempen and mariusobert

But I am using the extension center . I was under the assumption serverless runtime and the extension center are the same thing and works in the Kyma environment .

There is one serverless function in SAP CF.

Confusion

mariusobert could you kindly point out , where I am going wrong.

You already summarized it quite good in your comment above 🙂
The Kyma environment contains (among others) a K8S cluster, the Kyma console etc. The serverless runtime is a different service that you use and consume separately from Kyma. I'm sure you can understand that I cannot share implementation details here.
