Goal : This blog explains to add the service plans, assign the roles and create the instance for Automation Pilot in the Business Technology Platform (BTP). This blog focusses on usage of Automation Pilot with respect to SAP HANA Cloud.

There are two approaches in order to add the service plan to your subaccount, the traditional approach of adding the service plans and the Boosters.

Note: Check the Service Availability of Automation Pilot and then proceed further.

This will open a automated setup, that gives a brief overview about the Automation Pilot along with some additional resources. Click on Start.


Automated Setup for Automation Pilot


Based on the user Entitlements, one can create subaccount or select subaccount. For the demo purpose, we will go ahead and select the existing subaccount as shown in the below image.

In this step, the automated setup will choose 'standard' by default. Select the 'free' plan.

Once the booster has been successful, the following dialog box appears where you can navigate to the subaccount & check the instance of the automation pilot, roles assigned for the same.


Once you are on the subaccount, you can click on the Instance and Subscriptions, and click on the automation pilot and that opens the application.
