Create an SAP BTP Service Instance in Your Kyma Cluster

After successfully installing your Secret, create a service instance and a service binding.

Note

This section provides an example with the Authorization and Trust Management (xsuaa) service. Create your Secret following this example:

Procedure

1. To create a service instance, run the following script:

   kubectl create -f - <<EOF
   apiVersion: services.cloud.sap.com/v1
   kind: ServiceInstance
   metadata:
     name: {SERVICE_INSTANCE_NAME}
     namespace: default
   spec:
     serviceOfferingName: xsuaa
     servicePlanName: application
     externalName: {SERVICE_INSTANCE_NAME}
   EOF

   [!TIP] To find values for the serviceOfferingName and servicePlanName parameters, go to the SAP BTP cockpit > Service Marketplace, select the service's tile, and find the name and Plan. The value of the externalName parameter must be unique.

2. To check the output, run:

   kubectl get serviceinstances.services.cloud.sap.com {SERVICE_INSTANCE_NAME} -o yaml

   You see the status Created and the message ServiceInstance provisioned successfully.

3. To create a service binding, run this script:

   kubectl create -f - <<EOF
   apiVersion: services.cloud.sap.com/v1
   kind: ServiceBinding
   metadata:
     name: {BINDING_NAME}
     namespace: default
   spec:
     serviceInstanceName: {SERVICE_INSTANCE_NAME}
     externalName: {BINDING_NAME}
     secretName: {BINDING_NAME}
   EOF

4. To check the output, run:

   kubectl get servicebindings.services.cloud.sap.com {BINDING_NAME} -o yaml

   You see the status Created and the message ServiceBinding provisioned successfully.

5. Now, use a given service in your Kyma cluster. To see credentials, run:

   kubectl get secret {BINDING_NAME} -o yaml

Result

You can use the Secret to communicate with the service instance.
