SAP BTP, Kyma runtime (a fully managed cloud-native Kubernetes application runtime based on the open-source "Kyma" project) enables developers to deploy highly scalable, modular, and secure microservices. The SAP Cloud Application Programming (CAP) model supports Kyma deployments as one of the recommended approaches in the SAP BTP Developer’s Guide
What’s New
In the November release of CAP, we have introduced several key improvements that significantly simplify the deployment of CAP applications to Kyma.
Here is a quick look at the changes:
- Streamlined project setup: The new cds add kyma command quickly configures your Kyma project and serves as the central entry point for configuring deployments to Kyma.
- Interactive credential handling: When using cds up -2 k8s, you’ll receive prompts for any missing registry credentials on your Kyma cluster, eliminating guesswork during deployment.
- Automatic UI5 build: The cds up -2 k8s command now automatically builds your SAP UI5 applications, removing an extra manual step from your workflow.
- Intelligent build optimization: Builds now trigger only when artifact changes are detected, eliminating unnecessary build cycles and notably speeding up your deployment process.
- Simplified tooling: The standalone containerize tool (also known as ctz) is no longer required. The cds up -2 k8s command handles containerization directly reducing external dependencies
Ready to try it out? Make sure to have the latest cli version with npm i -g @SAP/cds-dk@latest, also check out the updated documentation and our release notes for complete details on these improvements.
