@ceedee666@mastodon.socialWhy are #SAP #BTP trial accounts still expiring after 90 days? Genius move if the goal is to frustrate users.
My master’s students will see their semester's work disappear within the next two weeks—right before the examination phase. And that’s after they already rebuilt everything in the Integration Suite because that trial lasts only 30 days. My guess? They won’t be choosing SAP tools for their next projects. (1/2)
This limitation doesn’t just disrupt student learning; it also complicates showcasing their work during events like our #FHAachen Open Campus Days (HIT). Export/import options exist, sure, but they’re a Band-Aid, not a real fix.
SAP, why not introduce a free academic version of BTP? A small change during the sign-up process could save a lot of headaches—and goodwill. (2/2)
Turn frustration into fun! I channeled my annoyance into a handy #Terraform script for setting up a fresh #SAP #BTP account.
What does it do? 
Creates a subaccount
Activates #CloudFoundry & sets up a space Subscribes to Business Application Studio, #HANA Cloud, and Integration Suite
Assigns all the necessary authorizations
Once finished, this should simplify the (re)creation of #SAP #BTP trial accounts significantly!

@ceedee666 you might check out my example for Authorisation assignment https://github.com/gregorwolf/terraform-trial
@ceedee666 has that effort yielded something public yet? Asking for a friend… 
@agoeb have a look here:

I'm by no means a terraform expert. Basically did some educated guessing based on the examples by Rui and Christian:

Furthermore, there is also this tutorial to get started:

@agoeb maybe also have a look at this:
@ceedee666 Thank you! I exactly see your point about having to learn Terraform 
This time I did the manual setup in the end…
