Role assignments

Tools:

SAP BTP Cockpit
Identity Authentication Service
Role Collections

Performance Monitoring

Key Metrics:

System runtime
SQL query execution
Background job status
Response times
Error patterns

Resource Management

Activities:

Monitor consumption patterns
Adjust sizing configurations
Leverage hibernation features
Cost optimization

Lifecycle Oversight

Scope:

Custom application management
Transport processes
Add-on deployments
Multi-tenant administration

Integration Assurance

Focus:

Data synchronization between cloud and on-premises
API health monitoring
Event processing status

Supporting Tools

Tool	Purpose	Environment
SAP Fiori Launchpad	UI access, administration	All
SAP BTP Cockpit	Platform administration	All
Landscape Portal	Partner/SaaS management	ABAP
Technical Monitoring Cockpit	On-stack analysis	ABAP

Run and Scale Operations

Core Principles

Continuous user feedback - Optimize based on real usage
Proactive monitoring - Use SAP BTP observability tools
Security integration - Protect against emerging threats
Compliance maintenance - Regular security audits

Scaling Strategies

Cloud Foundry

Horizontal Scaling:

# Scale instances
cf scale my-app -i 5

# Scale memory
cf scale my-app -m 1G

Auto-scaling:

Configure in BTP Cockpit
Based on CPU/memory thresholds
Schedule-based scaling

Availability Zones:

Automatic distribution across AZs
Handle ~1/3 capacity loss during AZ failure

Kyma

Horizontal Pod Autoscaler:

apiVersion: autoscaling/v2
kind: HorizontalPodAutoscaler
metadata:
  name: my-app-hpa
spec:
  scaleTargetRef:
    apiVersion: apps/v1
    kind: Deployment
    name: my-app
  minReplicas: 2
  maxReplicas: 10
  metrics:
    - type: Resource
      resource:
        name: cpu
        target:
          type: Utilization
          averageUtilization: 80

ABAP Environment

Elastic Scaling:

Manual ACU/HCU adjustment via BTP Cockpit
Automatic scaling between 1 ACU and configured maximum
0.5 ACU increments

Decision Metrics:

CPU usage
Memory consumption
Active work process counts

Cost Optimization

System Hibernation (ABAP)

Benefits:

Reduces costs to <5% of operational expenses
Preserves HANA Cloud instance
Automatic restart during maintenance

Management:

Via Landscape Portal
Scheduled activation/deactivation
Trial accounts auto-hibernate nightly

Resource Right-Sizing

Environment	Recommendation
Development	Minimal resources, hibernation
Test	Moderate resources, scheduled scaling
Production	Right-sized, auto-scaling enabled

Maintenance and Upgrades

ABAP Environment Updates

Downtime-Optimized Process:

Phase	Status	Duration
Preparation	System available	Variable
Takeover	Downtime	10-40 minutes
Postprocessing	System available	Background

Pre-Upgrade Option

Purpose: Test custom applications before standard upgrades

Guidelines:

Non-development systems only
Available 4 weeks before release
Report issues via SAP support
Validates existing applications (not early feature access)

Security Patching

Best Practices:

Regularly apply security patches
Monitor dependency vulnerabilities
Test patches in non-production first
Maintain patch schedule

Secure Operations

Continuous Threat Monitoring

Tools:

SAP Cloud ALM
SAP Cloud Logging
Alert Notification Service

Actions:

Real-time anomaly detection
Automated alerting
Incident response procedures

Secure Auto-Scaling

CAP Multitenancy:

Built-in tenant isolation
Resource management per tenant
Secure scaling for SaaS

Security Audits

Schedule: Periodic (quarterly recommended)

Scope:

Configuration review
Compliance verification
Vulnerability assessment

Data Protection

Requirements:

Privacy law compliance (GDPR, HIPAA)
Secure data handling
User consent management

Transport Management

gCTS (ABAP)

Flow:

Development → Test → Production
     ↓          ↓         ↓
   Release    Import    Import

Tools: Manage Software Components app

SAP Cloud Transport Management (CAP)

Configuration:

    - name: DEV
    - name: QA
      requires: DEV
    - name: PROD
