After completing this section, you should be able to describe the features and benefits of Red Hat products for SAP.
Red Hat portfolio enables SAP customers for Open Hybrid Cloud by providing an automated end-to-end infrastructure where they can run their SAP and non-SAP workloads.
No matter where you are in your intelligent enterprise journey, Red Hat provides a complete and automated end-to-end hybrid infrastructure.
New SAP customers who deploy SAP S/4HANA or existing SAP customers who migrate to SAP S/4HANA can run SAP Digital Core on-prem or on any major cloud provider with Red Hat Enterprise Linux, the market leader for the Linux operating system. RHEL for SAP Solutions bundles the following software components:
Red Hat Enterprise Linux - the solid foundation of your enterprise
Red Hat Enterprise Linux High Availability Add-on - the framework for making your SAP service highly available
Red Hat Smart Management - the lifecycle management tool for Red Hat Enterprise Linux
Red Hat Insights - the tool for proactive optimization, risk analytics, and automated mitigation to avoid downtime before business is affected
RHEL System Roles for SAP - automating the deployment of SAP systems on RHEL
SAP-specific software components - the required SAP-specific configurations and libraries for optimally running SAP systems on RHEL
Update services for SAP solutions - provides support for specific minor RHEL releases for four years from General Availability.
Together with Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform, customers can fully automate their SAP S/4HANA migration, new deployments and day-2 operations, and free up IT teams to focus on innovation.

Red Hat OpenShift supports the foundation for the Digital Platform Adoption. SAP customers can develop their SAP S/4HANA extensions with cloud-native patterns by using microservices that run in containers. Customers can integrate these developments with SAP and non-SAP systems by using SAP-certified Red Hat Integration, which also offers API management capabilities.
SAP customers benefit from the OpenShift platform, which can automatically scale, and be deployed on-prem and on every major cloud provider. OpenShift includes built-in supported tools for GitOps, CI/CD, or multi-cluster management, for a consistent lifecycle of any application that is developed and deployed on the platform across multiple environments and clouds.
Red Hat OpenShift and OpenShift Container Storage form a perfect binomial to run AI/ML workloads and data pipelines to analyze your company data. Running SAP Data Intelligence on OpenShift not only helps customers to transform their company data into business value. Also, it automatically enables organizations for hybrid cloud to run the software in a certified platform by SAP, and takes advantage of a platform that scales automatically with your business. OpenShift extends the capabilities of Kubernetes in smaller footprint options. It gives developers access to the tools they need to rapidly iterate on applications consistently from the data center to the edge. With OpenShift and OpenShift Container Storage at the edge device and SAP Data Intelligence at the data center, you can gain an end-to-end IoT platform with SAP.
This course focuses on the automation capabilities that you can achieve with the RHEL System Roles and the available roles from the upstream community.
