DevOps and CI/CD for SAP Landscapes: A 5-Day Hands-On Training
📘 Course Introduction
This 5-day instructor-led course provides a deep dive into implementing modern DevOps practices—including Continuous Integration (CI), Continuous Delivery (CD), and automation pipelines—in SAP environments. With the increasing adoption of Agile and DevOps in enterprise IT, it’s crucial to adapt these methodologies for SAP systems, especially S/4HANA, ABAP, SAP BTP (Business Technology Platform), and hybrid landscapes.
Participants will learn how to design, build, and operate DevOps pipelines for SAP using industry-standard tools integrated with SAP tools like CTS+, gCTS, ABAPGit, SAP BTP CI/CD services, and more. By the end of this training, attendees will be equipped with the skills to implement automated testing, transport management, and cloud-native SAP deployments.
