Create Service Instances and Service Bindings ​

To use an SAP BTP service in your Kyma cluster, create its service instance and service binding using Kyma dashboard or kubectl.

Prerequisites ​

  • You have the SAP BTP Operator module added. For instructions on adding modules, see Adding and Deleting a Kyma Module.
  • For CLI interactions: kubectl configured to communicate with your Kyma instance. See Access a Kyma Instance Using kubectl.
  • For an enterprise account, you have added quotas to the services you purchased in your subaccount. Otherwise, only default free-of-charge services are listed in the service marketplace. Quotas are automatically assigned to the resources available in trial accounts. For more information, see Configure Entitlements and Quotas for Subaccounts.
  • You know the service offering name and service plan name for the SAP BTP service you want to connect to your Kyma cluster.

    TIP

    To find the service and service plan names, in the SAP BTP cockpit, go to Services->Service Marketplace. Click on the service tile and find its name and Plan.
