Community Modules ​

Overview ​

Community modules are modules provided by the Kyma community. Use them to enhance your Kyma experience with additional features and capabilities. You can install community modules alongside managed modules.

IMPORTANT

Key Distinction: Community modules differ fundamentally from managed SAP BTP, Kyma runtime modules:

  • Community modules are NOT handled in the Kyma CR - They are managed independently and are not part of the Kyma resource specification
  • Community modules are NOT managed by Kyma Control Plane - The control plane does not automatically manage their lifecycle, update them, or monitor their health
  • You must perform all the necessary actions - Installation, updates, and removal require manual intervention

Unlike managed modules, community modules aren't automatically updated or maintained. You are fully responsible for managing community modules, including keeping them updated, monitoring their health, and handling any issues that arise.

WARNING

In SAP BTP, Kyma runtime community modules aren't subject to the Service Level Agreement (SLA).
