Go Big or Go Home – SAP’s Journey to Offering a Public PaaS Built with Cloud Foundry
summary
SAP converts its platform into a public PaaS built on Cloud Foundry, starting exploration in 2014, gaining certification in 2015, putting Siemens live in 2016 and declaring GA in May 2017. The service runs on AWS, Microsoft Azure and soon GCP plus SAP OpenStack datacenters, serves ~7,000 customers and supports ~4,000 internal devs on canary systems. Contributions include leading the OpenStack CPI and many pull requests; initial scale issues (gorouter, buildpacks, metrics) surface and get fixed during production rollouts.
