To learn about the cooperation between SAP and the other Hyperscalers such as Microsoft, Amazon, Google, or Alibaba and the opportunities offered for your organization, here is the list of all the SAP BTP Services (94) as of today, Feb 2023. I’ve consolidated it into a simple table to give you an overview of all the available services and their respective supported Hyperscalers.
Note: The services highlighted in red either retire soon or the capabilities can be found under new services. For example, SAP iRPA(intelligent Robotic Process Automation) capabilities are now under SAP BPA (Business Process Automation).
Additional services will be added, so instead of depending on the above list for the available services, we’ll show you how to find them.
Go to the SAP Discovery Center https://discovery-center.cloud.sap/protected/index.html# – Services – click on New & Featured services, Always Free & Free Tier Services from the services list in the left-hand navigation menu.
Alternatively, you can filter based on the License Model, Regions, and/or Provider to see the list of services available for your selection. This is done on the Services catalog page by clicking the Show Filters button and selecting from the Commercial Model, Provider, and Regions options.
Below are the regions and infrastructure providers to know about the availability of SAP BTP Services. It is essential because when you create SAP BTP accounts, you must choose your hyperscalers provider and region as a first step, as not all services run in every data centre. This is to provide customers with flexibility and freedom of choice.
The data centers hosting SAP BTP services possess certifications like ISO 27001 and ISO 22301 and attestations like SOC 1 SSAE 18, SOC 1 Type 2, and SOC 2 type 2. The SAP BTP service environments have sophisticated network security measures, dependable data backup plans, and embedded compliance, integrity, and confidentiality features.
