Enable SAP BTP, Kyma Runtime

To enable SAP BTP, Kyma runtime on your cluster you must make sure that your subaccount has the right entitlements. Follow this procedure to learn how to set up your Kyma entitlement and enable SAP BTP, Kyma runtime in your subaccount.

If you can see Kyma Environment in the subaccount’s Overview section, it means that the Kyma entitlement is already set up. In such a case, go straight to Step 5.

1. In your Free Tier subaccount, go to Entitlements.

2. Choose Edit and Add Service Plans.

3. Find Kyma Runtime, select one of the available plans, and choose Add Service Plan.

4. Choose Save, and go back to the subaccount’s Overview.

5. Choose Enable Kyma to trigger the enablement of the Kyma environment.

   

6. In the popup, enter your cluster name of choice and click Create.

   

   In the background, a new Kubernetes cluster is being set up where SAP BTP, Kyma runtime will run. This might take between 15-25 minutes.

   To continue with this tutorial, you must wait until the enablement is finished. You can still use the SAP BTP Free Tier or close the window as the setup process will continue automatically.

   

To open Kyma dashboard, select Dashboard URL under the Kyma Environment section of the subaccount’s Overview page.

Kyma dashboard opens in a new browser tab.

Kyma dashboard is your graphical user interface for managing modules, applications or services on SAP BTP, Kyma runtime. You can use Kyma dashboard to add or delete Kyma modules, manage Deployments by creating, deleting, or scaling them, define APIRules to expose your workloads, and much more.
