Self-Serviced Scalable Sandboxes
You can now independently manage the capacity of your non-production environments through the Cloud Portal, no need to rely on SAP Support. You can adjust the number of instances, CPU, and memory requirements to optimize your setup.
Key benefits include:
- Database & Node Pool Scaling: Scale the database and node pools to facilitate e.g. performance tests to be run on non-production environments.
- Service Resource Scaling: For each scalable environment, define the resource limits, configuration parameters, and base replica count for each individual service.
Consumption Credits
Consumption credits are now available as Capacity Units, enabling you to self-scale your non-production environments with ease. Plus, the Capacity Units Estimator offers insights into your scalable sandboxes.
Consumption Reports
Gain valuable insights into your Commerce storefront with the new consumption reports. These reports provide detailed information on order metrics and resource utilization, accessible only to authorized users.
Canary Deployments
Enhance your deployment strategy with canary deployments. This feature builds upon blue-green deployments by allowing you to gradually redirect portions of live traffic to a new green deployment. Once you have completed your testing phase, you can confidently transition the green deployment to take over as the blue deployment.
New Scheduled Activity APIs
We are introducing new APIs for the scheduled activity feature. Here are some key functionalities:
- Managing Upgrades: With the new scheduler feature in the Cloud Portal, you can select a convenient date and time for upgrading your environments when updates to SAP Commerce Cloud are necessary.
- Scheduling Disaster Recovery Upgrade: You can now schedule an upgrade for your disaster recovery package for your environments at your convenience.
Individual Pod Restart
Introducing the self-service option to restart individual service pods within your Kubernetes clusters. This new capability helps you quickly resolve issues without disrupting overall services.
Private Link Enhancements
The Private Link feature is enhanced to facilitates secure connections between SAP Commerce Cloud and customer-owned Azure subscriptions. You can now create:
- a Private Link Endpoint to connect SAP Commerce Cloud endpoints to endpoints and services in a customer-owned Azure subscription
- a Private Link Service to connect endpoints in one or more customer-owned Azure subscription to SAP Commerce Cloud endpoints and services.
Web-based Two-Factor Authentication
Secure your sign-in process with the addition of web-based two-factor authentication, complementing the time-based one-time password (TOTP) method.
