Hello and welcome to the SAP HANA Academy.
The topic of this video tutorial series is Getting Started with SAP HANA on Microsoft Azure
and in this video, I will show you how create an account for Microsoft Azure
as cloud provider on the SAP Cloud Appliance Library (CAL).
Hi, I am Denys van Kempen.
It does not really matter which cloud provider you take these days,
Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud Platform, Microsoft Azure,
they all have some kind of marketplace with solutions.
Here we have the Marketplace in Azure and if we search for SAP HANA, we get a number of hits.
express edition, developer edition and a Red Hat image
(my guess is that this comes without HANA actually).
On the Google Cloud Platform, the marketplace is called Cloud Launcher.
Enter SAP HANA and you get two results: express edition and express edition (server + applications).
On AWS, again, we find a marketplace.
When we search for SAP HANA we get 21 results today (October 2017):
SUSE Linux, Red Hat Linux, SAP HANA One (couple of versions)
If we select the vendor, SAP Incorporated, we can see that there are actually four
but these are a bit older: HANA 1.0 SPS 11
Now, instead of looking at the marketplace of the cloud provider, we can also choose to go
to the marketplace of the solution provider: SAP, in our case.
This marketplace has been branded the SAP Cloud Appliance Library, or CAL, in short.
Quickly deploy and use latest SAP solutions in the cloud.
I will select View All Solutions
and here we have our library of cloud appliances, also called solutions. Same thing.
There are 79 here today, tomorrow might be different.
Some are labelled TRIAL. We have DEV (development). MC for model company
and one or two for EDU (education).
If you want to learn more about CAL, there is a link here in the main menu: Support
and here you can read the documentation, join the forums, etc.
The solutions are available in either Amazon Web Services or Microsoft Azure.
These are the currently supported cloud providers.
Google GCP is not listed yet.
My guess is that it will be added at some point but I have no idea when that might be.
So, how do we link a cloud provider in CAL?
That’s where the Accounts menu is for
and for this we first need to log on.
If you already have an account this will be pretty fast: SSO.
Otherwise you will need to sign up first, provide some user info, agree with license, and so on.
We have a video on this, I will add the link to the description below.
There is a trial version for CAL, so you can try it out.
For production, there is a subscription fee.
When you are connected, we have a couple of more menu items
and one of them is the accounts menu. Select it.
Select Create Account.
Give your account a name and, optionally, a description.
Select the cloud provider.
As this video is about Azure, I will pick Azure.
Enter the subscription ID.
And the click Authorize.
You will be redirected to Microsoft Online
and if you are not connected yet, you will need to log on.
Then you will be prompted to allow the SAP Cloud Appliance Library to access Azure as you
Click Accept, if you understand what you are doing and agree.
Then your CAL log in account should be listed as owner for this CAL cloud provider account.
In Step 2, optionally add approved users.
Select Review and then Create.
I am using an expired Azure trial account here, so that will not work but you get the idea.
We already set on up before.
OK.
So much for this first video, where we introduced the SAP Cloud Appliance Library (CAL)
as solution marketplace and showed you how you can create an account for Microsoft Azure as cloud provider.
In the next video, we will show you how you can use CAL to create an SAP HANA, express edition VM.
It is incredibly easy.
All you have to do is enter a name for the VM and set the password.
