How to Integrate SAP Leonardo with Terraform

Prerequisites

• Ensure you have a working SAP Leonardo environment.

 

• Install Terraform on your local machine. Follow the official instructions at Terraform Downloads.

 

• Set up an SAP Cloud Platform account and have necessary credentials ready.

 

• Familiarize yourself with the SAP Leonardo services and Terraform basics.

Configure SAP Cloud Platform

• Log into the SAP Cloud Platform and navigate to your Subaccount.

 

• Create a Service Key for the SAP Leonardo service you want to use. This is necessary for authentication.

 

• Download the service key JSON file. It contains important data that will be used for integration.

Set Up Terraform

• Create a directory on your local machine to store Terraform files for your SAP Leonardo project.

 

• Inside the directory, create a file named main.tf. This file will define your Terraform configuration.

Initialize Terraform Configuration

• Open main.tf in a text editor and define a provider for SAP. Make sure to specify the provider name and credentials.

 

• Use the following Terraform configuration as an example:

provider "sap" {
  alias = "sap_cloud"
  auth_instance_url = "<SAP_CLOUD_INSTANCE_URL>"
  client_id         = "<CLIENT_ID>"
  client_secret     = "<CLIENT_SECRET>"
}

• Replace placeholders with actual values from your SAP service key JSON file.

Define SAP Leonardo Resources

• Add a resource block in main.tf for each SAP Leonardo service you wish to integrate.

 

• Example for configuring a sample service:

resource "sap_service" "leonardo_example" {
  name      = "example_service"
  provider  = "sap.sap_cloud"
  instance  = "leonardo_instance"
}

• Adjust resource definitions according to the specific SAP Leonardo services you are using.

Initialize and Apply the Terraform Configuration

• Navigate to your Terraform project directory in the command line.

 

• Run the following command to initialize Terraform:

terraform init

• After successful initialization, apply the configuration with:

terraform apply

• Review the plan output and confirm to proceed with the resource creation.

 

• Verify that the resources have been created in the SAP Cloud Platform.

Verify Integration

• Log into the SAP Cloud Platform and check the Dashboard for the newly created services.

 

• Ensure that the SAP Leonardo services are running and correctly configured.

 

• Conduct functionality tests to confirm that the integration with Terraform works as expected.

Troubleshoot and Iterate

• If errors occur, check the Terraform output for diagnostic information.

 

• Examine the SAP Cloud Platform logs for issues related to service deployment.

 

• Make necessary adjustments to the Terraform configuration and retry the deployment.
