Abstract

Kubernetes and SAP Kyma Runtime are increasingly being adopted in the enterprise application space. This study details the automation, integration, scalability, and security hurdles faced. Strikingly, microservices improve overall application performance while posing security, compliance, and data migration challenges. Results indicate that automation and DevOps enhance the efficacy of deployments, but governance frameworks are necessary. Effective API management, workload distribution, and cost optimization stratagies are essential in integrating SAP systems. This research highlights the need for migration frameworks, as well as enhanced monitoring and security automation. Enterprises may effectively implement cloud-native solutions by optimizing SAP systems running on Kubernetes through secure, cost-effective, and scalable practices, thus, achieving successful adoption.
