This guide shows you how you can automate the deployment of select SAP solutions and supporting databases on Google Cloud, including the infrastructure that they need in order to run on Google Cloud, such as Compute Engine virtual machine (VM), the operating system, persistent storage, and more.
Automation options
You can automate SAP deployments on Google Cloud using the following options:
- Terraform, the recommended option, which provides declarative configuration files to provision resources. For more information, see Automating SAP deployments on Google Cloud with Terraform.
- Workload Manager - Guided Deployment Automation lets you quickly configure and deploy SAP systems on Google Cloud. Post deployment, this tool lets you generate Terraform and Ansible files that you can export for further customization or use in an existing deployment pipeline. For more information, see About Guided Deployment Automation.
- Deployment Manager, which provides flexible templates to create deployments. For more information, see Automating SAP deployments on Google Cloud with Deployment Manager.
