In a previous blog post, we explored how SAP HANA Cloud lifecycle management can be automated end-to-end using SAP Automation Pilot, outlining various automations capabilities and scenarios: from instance operations to backup and recovery. We also have demonstrated how SAP Automation Pilot can help Ops / DevOps / IT Admin team to bring Agentic Ops into action, see this blogpost: From Automation to Agentic Ops: MCP Servers in SAP Automation Pilot
Now, it is time to take the next step. What happens when all available HANA Cloud automations in SAP Automation Pilot are no longer triggered manually, but instead are consumed and orchestrated by AI agents?
Welcome to the world of HANA Cloud Ops Agents powered by Joule and SAP Automation Pilot and a true HANA Cloud Lifecycle Management agent – powered by SAP Automation Pilot content and consumed directly in Joule in a truly agentic manner.
🎥 Meet Your HANA Cloud Lifecycle Management Agent
See an example about HANA Cloud Lifecycle Agent enabled by SAP Automation Pilot and find out how easy it is to set up an MCP server, expose automations, and trigger them in an agentic way through Joule.
From Automation to Agentic HANA Cloud Operations
With SAP Automation Pilot, DevOps and Ops teams can already automate complex operational workflows using prebuilt and custom commands. At the same time, Joule is evolving into an intelligent orchestrator of AI agents that can observe, reason, and act across SAP landscapes. Bringing these two together unlocks a new operational model where Joule Agents orchestrate and trigger automations based on intent and context (see diagram below):
SAP HANA Cloud operations typically involve a wide range of recurring, critical activities. With Automation Pilot and Joule Agents, these can now be exposed as reusable, governed capabilities.
Let’s look at some concrete examples:
nstead of executing repetitive and sensitive database operations manually, you can now automate domains such as: 🔹 Instance Lifecycle Management 🔹Backup & Recovery 🔹 Snapshot Management 🔹 Instance Configuration🔹 Upgrades & Plugins 🔹 Elastic Compute Nodes (ECN), etc.
…and Many More
These scenarios are just a starting point.
Any operational workflow automated in SAP Automation Pilot can be exposed via MCP Servers and consumed by Joule Agents – enabling a flexible, extensible, and truly agent-driven operations model across SAP HANA Cloud and beyond.
This approach unlocks a completely new way to ops automation where AI agents can reason, execute, and orchestrate operational tasks seamlessly following customers requests and needs.
