Definition and motivation
Development and operations and their view
Different views
Idea is to break up silos and work together for outcome

DevOps – Ken Mugrage quote
Overcoming silos, work together
Source: SAP
Now apply to SAP projects
Start with ABAP environment, on premise, then to cloud, open approaches to languages
For ABAP look at the lightning talk: LT110 – Include ABAP in DevOps: Picture the Possibilities
CAA803 – Road Map: SAP Cloud Platform Development Tooling
Source: SAP
Focus on SCP
Several categories to build bridge between dev and ops
DevOps is a cultural thing; need to overcome barriers, establish agile environment
Plan & set up – set up infrastructure
Develop & test
Deliver & change – propagate in different environments – dev-test-prod in a controlled way
Monitoring and operating
Overarching topic – automate and operate, how to better improve approaches
Asterisks – topics that SAP is working on, plan on services in H12020
Source: SAP
SAP Cloud Platform planning and set up guide, how to start work with SCP – securing, support, lifecycle management activities
DevOps Planner – SAP is working on, plan on beta in Q1 next year
Source: SAP
Different tools that pop up
GitHub, integration with Jenkins, testing and automation
Use case, how to configure
Challenge is to manage DevOps tool zoo
Source: SAP
Use case: develop Fiori App, develop chain of tools, have tool chain and pipeline
This is currently in development
Source: SAP
Development – approaches
SAP Cloud Application Model – golden path of best practices – guides you to use core data services, goal to ease development
SAP Web IDE – access it from different front ends, have right set up, high integration with SAP Cloud Platform; use is optional, can still use Eclipse
iFlow, security content, authorizations, business rules, API Management – provide managed approach along lifecycle

CAA160 – Getting Started with SAP Cloud Application Programming Model was briefly discussed
Source: SAP
How handle different dependencies
Cloud software – multiple modules, deployed to different run times; a driver for agility; use best knowledge for your development team
One application, desire one lifecycle – MTA – one archive for all things; a nice hand over between dev and ops
Source: SAP
When developers have changes, push to central repository (like GitHub), triggers CI server, pipeline on Jenkins, get direct feedback
Former times, piled into releases, and now smaller artifacts, a lot of automated testing and feedback cycles
Source: SAP
How apply CI to SAP Cloud Platform?
Best practices built on use cases
Improved best practices at Continuous Integration Best Practices with SAP
Source: SAP
Project Piper – internal team – Pipeline templates are on GitHub
Piper templates make sense if you have Jenkins in place; opening up for further frameworks
See CAA217 – Efficient Continuous Delivery in the SAP Ecosystem
Source: SAP
Example of opinionated pipeline is SAP Cloud SDK
CAA119 – Explore Extension Use Cases for the Intelligent Enterprise
Source: SAP
Operations can use archive to perform an automated deployment; deploys to right run time in the right order
Deployment can be triggered manually via command line or cockpit (upload) or a managed delivery process
Source: SAP
Continuous delivery – source code development, fully automated, central approach
Source: SAP
Automated approach, trigger delivery to run time
Could have conditions where this does not fit
Source: SAP
Option for transport management for delivery option – standardized change management, audit trail of changes, separation of concerns (dev to central teams, on-premise or hybrid applications)
2 approaches – change and transport system (to the right)
Also have SAP Cloud Platform transport management – cloud centric approach
Source: SAP
Have an on-premise CTS+ system, model logical representation of SAP Cloud Platform landscape
Changes are triggered from SCP to on premise system
Source: SAP
Link: How to integrate SAP Cloud Platform Transport Management into your CI/CD pipeline | SAP Blogs
Cloud-based SCP transport management
Use the cloud service to model landscape, target sub accounts
CTS+ can handle MTA
See CAA382 – Set Up and Use SAP Cloud Platform Transport Management
Source: SAP
High level change management around SolMan
Build clusters for development – on premise & cloud sub accounts
Can be integrated into Charm/quality gate process
See Session at SAP TechEd CAA215 – Change Control Management: Building the Bridge for CI/CD in Hybrid Solution
Source: SAP
Interplay with CI
Best practice to combine “best of 2 worlds”
Agile in development – CI, pipeline, development gets feedback, automated
Get closer to production, full control, delivery landscape based on transport rules
Approve changes to production for automation reasons
Source: SAP
Need for controlled production deployments
Tackle with central deployment service, get a history of deployments, analytics – how long for a deployment
Orchestration – SAP CP transport management
Source: SAP
Development is working on, mockups with an idea
Source: SAP
Native tools such as logging service, monitoring service
SAP Applications Lifecycle Management with SolMan and Focused Run
3rd party tools such as Dynatrace
See SAP TechEd session CAA216 – Observe and Control Your Applications Running on SAP Cloud Platform

Alerting – want to be notified if there is an issue, for example, with the database
Offered by SAP Cloud Platform, subscribe to events
CAA216 – Observe and Control Your Applications Running on SAP Cloud Platform
Source: SAP
Automation, use cases
Certificate handling
High integration with DevOps services
Source: SAP
Automation services, to be offered (planned) Q1 2020
If issue with database, restart, or root cause; with automation pilot, could trigger corresponding command from alert
Provide catalog of predefined commands
CAA216 – Observe and Control Your Applications Running on SAP Cloud Platform
Source: SAP
Hybrid supportability with SolMan/Focused Run – integration monitoring – see data flows between cloud and on premise components
Exception management
User monitoring, server monitoring
Trace analysis of performance issue
Source: SAP
Planning for an integrated DevOps management service, a cockpit, manage DevOps tool chain
History, analytics data, notified early of possible issues, trigger remediation procedures
Still in definition phase H2 2020
Source: SAP
Overall story of DevOps, apply DevOps around SCP
Services planned next year
Span the different SAP Cloud Platform environments (Neo, Cloud Foundry, planned for ABAP SCP)
Support hybrid lifecycle approach
Multi cloud enabled with hyperscalers
Open for 3rd party tools, open source tools
Provide guidance, not tools
