Creating a Kyma Instance

Set up a Kubernetes cluster with SAP BTP, Kyma runtime and use it to build applications and extensions to your SAP and third-party solutions.

Prerequisites

Your subaccount has entitlements for Kyma runtime configured. See Configure Entitlements and Quotas for Subaccounts.

Context

To set up the Kyma environment on your subaccount, you must create an instance of it. You can easily create it from your subaccount Overview section by choosing Enable Kyma and following the wizard steps to configure the provisioning parameters. You can also create a Kyma environment instance from Service Marketplace in the same way as any other SAP BTP service or application.

If you prefer to work in a terminal or want to automate operations using scripts, there's an alternative to the SAP BTP cockpit: You can create the Kyma environment with the SAP BTP command line interface (btp CLI). See Enable SAP BTP, Kyma Runtime Using the Command Line.

Note:

To indicate that your SAP BTP, Kyma runtime is used for production, select Used for production in your subaccount details. This setting allows Kyma runtime operators to prioritize incidents and support cases affecting production subaccounts over subaccounts used for non-production purposes. See Change Subaccount Details.

Procedure

  1. In the SAP BTP cockpit, navigate to your subaccount Overview.

  2. Choose Enable Kyma.

  3. In the Basic Info view of the wizard window, perform the following actions:

    • View the default plan assigned to your account.
    • Change the instance name or keep the default one.
    • Choose a region from the list.

  4. To continue the configuration, choose Next.

  5. In the Additional Parameters view, provide the required details in the Form. Alternatively, switch to the JSON tab and upload your configuration file or specify the parameters in JSON format.

    For more information on the configurable parameters, see Provisioning and Updating Parameters in the Kyma Environment.

  6. To review your configuration, choose Next.

  7. To confirm changes, choose Create.

Results

You have created a Kyma environment instance. You can see its details, such as the kubeconfig or the Kyma dashboard link, in the Kyma Environment section of your subaccount Overview.

Next Steps

  • To view the details of your Kyma instance, choose it from the list under Instances and Subscriptions.

  • To manage your Kyma instance, go to Instances and Subscriptions. Choose the action you want to perform from the instance's actions menu.

  • To manage access to the Kyma environment and Kyma dashboard, assign roles as needed. See Assign Roles in the Kyma Environment

  • To use a variety of functionalities, such as telemetry and eventing, or to use SAP BTP services, add the respective Kyma modules.

Tip:

To manage a Kyma instance automatically, you can create a Kyma service binding. The binding enables getting a Kyma kubeconfig, which in turn allows for accessing a Kyma cluster, deploying applications, running tests, and deleting the resources in a fully automated way. See Managing Kyma Runtime Using the Provisioning Service API.
