Accessing SAP BTP, Kyma runtime workloads from on-premise or corporate network

[gabbi]

SAP BTP, Kyma runtime customers often need to access applications and workloads deployed on SAP BTP, Kyma runtime from their corporate network or on-premise data centers without exposing them to the internet.

This can be achieved using Service Channels in conjunction with Cloud Connector and the Connectivity Proxy module in the SAP BTP, Kyma runtime.

According to the official documentation:

Cloud Connector service channels provide access from an external network to specific services on SAP BTP or to an ABAP Cloud system. These services are not exposed to direct access from the Internet. The Cloud Connector ensures that the connection is always available and that communication is secured.

For SAP BTP, Kyma runtime workloads, you should use the service channel of the K8s Cluster type, which establishes a TCP connection to an SAP BTP, Kyma runtime workload.

For more information, follow the steps outlined in the Connectivity: Accessing a Workload in SAP BTP, Kyma Runtime From the Corporate Network sample.

Takeaway

Use Service Channels to access applications and workloads deployed on SAP BTP, Kyma runtime from your corporate network or on-premise data centers without exposing them to the internet.
