Enterprise-scale for SAP on Azure
Enterprise-scale for SAP on Azure provide specific architectural approach and reference implementation that enables effective construction and operationalization of platform workload landing zones within the Cloud Adoption Framework enterprise-scale landing zone. After you have successfully implemented an enterprise-scale landing zone, they can use enterprise-scale for SAP on Azure. Review the enterprise-scale overview and implementation guidance before deploying enterprise-scale for SAP on Azure.
Adopt enterprise-scale for SAP on Azure
Not all customers adopt SAP on Azure in the same way. The enterprise-scale for SAP on Azure architecture varies between customers. The technical considerations and design recommendations of enterprise-scale for SAP on Azure might lead to different trade-offs based on your organization's scenario. If you follow the core recommendations, the resulting architecture sets your organization on a path to a sustainable scale. The enterprise-scale for SAP on Azure is modular by design. You can customize environmental variables. This solution approach to landing zones includes three sets of assets to support cloud teams:
Design guidelines
You have to make critical decisions that drive the design of the Cloud Adoption Framework for Azure enterprise-scale landing zone. Consider these six critical design areas:
- Identity and access management
- Network topology and connectivity
- Management and monitoring
- Business continuity and disaster recovery
- Security, governance, and compliance
- Platform automation and DevOps
Architecture
The following image shows a conceptual reference architecture that demonstrates design areas:
Implementation
The SAP on Azure deployment automation framework is a collection of processes combined with a flexible workflow. The SAP deployment automation framework repository has code that automatically deploys SAP landscapes in the Azure cloud.
The templates are split into two categories:
- Terraform modules deploy the infrastructure components in Azure:
- VMs
- Network
- Storage
- Ansible playbooks run different roles to:
- Set up and deploy VMs
- Install SAP HANA
- Install other required applications
Deploy and install the Ansible playbook components on the infrastructure that the Terraform modules built.
