Virtual Machine Service in SAP BTP CF?

[Naveen]

Dear All,

Virtual Machine service was available in SAP BTP neo.

We can use the virtual machines provided by SAP Virtual Machine service to install and maintain your own applications in scenarios not covered by the platform.

As of Q3 of 2019, SAP Virtual Machine service is not available for purchase. It will remain available and supported for existing customers until further notice.

Looking for this -->

But i could not find this in SAP BTP CF. We need virtual servers/Machine where we can install windows server R2, Windows 10 etc.? and can access from BTP?

Is there any possibilities to get Virtual machine in BTP ? anything with resource provider?

Regards

Naveen Jain

Hi naveennicky,

The service on CF would replace the same type of capabilities you would find in Neo is Kyma runtime.

There is another option which involves the deployment of docker images directly onto a Cloud Foundry Runtime:

However, it isn't an a straight forward migration - you would have to get familiar with newer technologies such as docker and all the other reusable software which makes up what we call Kyma Runtime.

The other aspect of it is that you won't be able to run Windows OS'es such as Windows Server R2 or Windows 10. Even on Neo you would be restricted to a Linux box.

Best regards,
Ivan
