SAP Application Router docker image publicly available

[gabbi]

This is going to be a short but important update.

A while ago I have published a blog post about Using SAP Application Router with Kyma runtime

To help developers leverage the standalone application router without having the overhead to build or maintain docker images, SAP recently made the application router docker image publicly available.

The tag corresponds to the SAP Application Router npm version

 

What does this mean for cloud-native developers using SAP BTP Kyma runtime?

You are building applications that need to integrate with BTP and want to leverage the application router's authentication/authorization and logging capabilities. You no longer need to build and maintain the docker image by yourself. You can directly use it in your Kubernetes deployments.

Check out this GitHub Sample for a basic scenario.

Hi gabbi ,

Thanks for sharing the news.

I am coming across more and more use cases where there is a need to leverage SAP BTP services (like for instance the destination service) outside of a SAP BTP Cloud Foundry context.

The official approuter docker image will come in handy when implementing such a scenario using SAP BTP, Kyma runtime as a hosting vehicle.
