How to Integrate SAP Leonardo with Docker

Set Up Your Environment

• Ensure you have Docker installed on your machine. Docker can be downloaded from the official Docker website.

 

• Verify the installation by running the following command in your terminal:

docker --version

• Make sure you have access to SAP Cloud Platform and have the necessary authorizations. For more details, visit the SAP Cloud Platform.

Prepare Your Docker Image

• Create a Dockerfile that will set up the environment needed to run SAP Leonardo services. Here’s an example template for a basic Node.js application.

FROM node:14

# Create app directory
WORKDIR /usr/src/app

# Install app dependencies
COPY package*.json ./

RUN npm install

# Bundle app source
COPY . .

EXPOSE 8080
CMD ["node", "server.js"]

• Build your Docker image using the Dockerfile.

docker build -t sap-leonardo-app .

• Run your Docker container.

docker run -p 8080:8080 sap-leonardo-app

Connect to SAP Leonardo

• Access SAP Leonardo services via APIs. To integrate with Docker, use the SAP Cloud SDK or leverage SAP APIs directly.

 

• Set up the necessary service bindings in your SAP Cloud Platform cockpit, ensuring your Docker application can communicate and authenticate with SAP Leonardo.

 

• Integrate these services in your application by making HTTP requests to SAP Leonardo APIs.

const axios = require('axios');

// Example function to call an SAP Leonardo service
async function getLeonardoData() {
  try {
    const response = await axios.get('https://api.sap.com/leonardo/service', {
      headers: {
        Authorization: `Bearer ${your_access_token}`
      }
    });
    console.log(response.data);
  } catch (error) {
    console.error(error);
  }
}

Deploy & Test Your Application

• Deploy your Docker container to a cloud platform, for example, AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud, that supports Docker natively.

 

• Test the integration by accessing the exposed service endpoint and verify that communication with SAP Leonardo services is functioning correctly.

 

• Iterate on your integration as needed, adjusting configurations and code to ensure robust connectivity.
