Github repo with examples about SAP Automation Pilot commands in action

Hello everyone! I am super excited to share that there is a public Github repo with sample use cases on how SAP Automation Pilot can help your (Dev)Ops team become more efficient! Thus, do not waste more time but you can check it out at Github repo – Automation Pilot Examples !

Why we need this public repository?

Among the vast array of tools available, SAP Automation Pilot has emerged as a solid and competitive cloud application within the SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP) DevOps portfolio, revolutionizing the way DevOps team streamline their ops processes. In a nutshell, SAP Automation pilot offers low-code / no-code automation engine capabilities that allow these teams to automate sequences of ops steps, use catalogs of automated commands provided by SAP or build custom executions (if needed) and run scripts in a serverless manner.

An overview of SAP Automation Pilot capabilities is visualised as per the diagram underneath:

SAP Automation Pilot – Capabilities Overview

During the last year, based on users’ feedback our team has figured out that the product is powerful enough to deliver the needed value to every DevOps team seeking for an ops automation tool in SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP). However, something we could improve is the onboarding of new teams into SAP Automation Pilot and the learning curve.

Thus, we have decided to create a public repo with main use cases, step-by-step guide and explanations and also sharing to public the exact commands we have used for each scenario (see an example below) so that you can import them into the SAP Automation Pilot .
