Deploy various SAP Software solution scenarios onto different Hyperscaler Cloud Service Providers and Hypervisors platforms.
These Terraform Templates for SAP are designed to be:
- simple to understand,
- highly reconfigurable,
- result in an equal installation performed to any Infrastructure Platform (Hyperscaler Cloud Service Providers and Hypervisors platforms),
- use Terraform as Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC),
- and Ansible as Configuration-as-Code (CaC) for configuraton of OS and installation of SAP Software.
Please read the full documentation for how-to guidance, requirements, and all other details. Summary documentation is below:

These are common SAP solution scenarios which are codified using Infrastructure Automation for SAP (Terraform) and Build Automation for SAP (Ansible). These can be extended as needed for bespoke requirements.
This does not intend (and can not) replicate every SAP software deployment scenario, and does not replace any existing SAP installation procedures detailed in the SAP Help Portal or SAP Notes on SAP ONE Support. However, with the Ansible Role for SAP SWPM it is possible to install any SAP Software which is supported by SAP Software Provisioning Manager (SWPM 1.0/2.0).
For move-fast activities, such as rapid provisioning and administration testing tasks (latest software releases and revision/patch levels, system copy restore to Cloud etc.), these Terraform Templates for SAP can be amended to suit these requirements.
For greater support in automating the lifecycle of SAP Systems themselves, it is recommended to consider SAP Landscape Management Enterprise Edition.
For greater demo and evaluation of SAP Software business functionality, it is recommended to consider SAP Cloud Appliance Library.
