HanaDB Standalone
This guide shows how to run a single SAP HANA instance using KubeDB.
Before You Begin
- Prepare a Kubernetes cluster and configure
kubectl. - Install KubeDB following the steps here.
- Create a namespace for this tutorial:
$ kubectl create ns demo
namespace/demo created
Note: YAML files used in this tutorial are stored in docs/examples/hanadb/clustering.
Deploy a Standalone Instance
The following manifest creates a standalone HanaDB instance. If spec.topology is omitted, KubeDB treats the database as standalone and requires spec.replicas: 1.
apiVersion: kubedb.com/v1alpha2
kind: HanaDB
metadata:
name: hanadb-standalone
namespace: demo
spec:
version: "2.0.82"
replicas: 1
storageType: Durable
storage:
accessModes:
- ReadWriteOnce
resources:
requests:
storage: 64Gi
storageClassName: local-path
deletionPolicy: WipeOut
Create the database:
$ kubectl apply -f https://github.com/kubedb/docs/raw/v2026.4.27/docs/examples/hanadb/clustering/standalone.yaml
hanadb.kubedb.com/hanadb-standalone created
Wait for the database to become ready:
$ kubectl get hanadb -n demo hanadb-standalone
NAME VERSION STATUS AGE
hanadb-standalone 2.0.82 Ready 5m
Cleaning up
kubectl delete hanadb -n demo hanadb-standalone
kubectl delete ns demo
