Trento is available at no extra cost for SUSE Linux Enterprise Server for SAP applications 15 subscribers. Particularly, Trento’s two main components have the following product lifecycles:
- Trento Agent
- Delivery mechanism
RPM package for SUSE Linux Enterprise Server for SAP applications 15 SP3 and newer.
- Supported runtime
Supported in SUSE Linux Enterprise Server for SAP applications 15 SP3 and newer on x86_64 and ppc64le architectures.
- Trento Server
- Delivery mechanisms
A set of container images from the SUSE public registry together with a Helm chart that facilitates their installation or a set of RPM packages for SUSE Linux Enterprise Server for SAP applications 15 SP3 and newer.
- Kubernetes deployment
The Trento Server runs on any current Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF)-certified Kubernetes distribution based on a x86_64 architecture. Depending on your scenario and needs, SUSE supports several usage scenarios:
If you already use a CNCF-certified Kubernetes cluster, you can run the Trento Server in it.
If you don’t have a Kubernetes cluster, and need enterprise support, SUSE recommends SUSE SUSE Rancher Prime Kubernetes Engine (RKE) (RKE) version 1 or 2.
If you do not have a Kubernetes enterprise solution but you want to try Trento, SUSE Rancher’s K3s provides you with an easy way to get started. But keep in mind that K3s default installation process deploys a single node Kubernetes cluster, which is not a recommended setup for a stable Trento production instance.
- systemd and containerized deployments
Supported in SUSE Linux Enterprise Server for SAP applications 15 SP3 and newer.
