Cannot find HANA Express Image on Azure anymore

[former_member600813]

Dear SAP Community,

does anybody know why the public image for a virtual machine on Microsoft Azure is no longer available? Last year an image called HANA Express Server + Application (HANA with XSA) was availabe to create a virtual machine with a preconfigured HANA Express system.

Hi Markus,

I have the same issue with the Google Cloud Platform Image: https://answers.sap.com/questions/13223248/the-hana-express-image-in-the-google-cloud-platfor.html#

Yes the HANA express edition offerings in the hyperscalers have been removed. Tutorials are pending removal as well. HANA express is still offered as a binary installer, docker image, and VM. But if you want a cloud hosted version of HANA , we suggest the HANA Cloud which does have a free trial.
