Hybrid runtime placement and failure domains
Full lesson currently free to read · AI practice limits apply separately
Choose runtime placement from data handling, connectivity, latency and operating requirements. Customer-managed runtime components introduce patching, capacity, network and recovery responsibilities. Validate the currently supported adapter and capability subset rather than promising cloud-runtime parity.
Visual overview
Explanation
Tutorial outcome
Choose runtime placement from data handling, connectivity, latency and operating requirements. Customer-managed runtime components introduce patching, capacity, network and recovery responsibilities. Validate the currently supported adapter and capability subset rather than promising cloud-runtime parity.
Prerequisites
Complete chapters 1–13 in this module. Use synthetic fixtures or an authorized sandbox.
Worked case — fictional
A fictional regulated interface must process sensitive payloads within an approved network boundary.
Step-by-step investigation
1. Requirement
Write the actual data-location and availability constraints before choosing a runtime.
Expected evidence: Only approved runtime locations may process payload bodies.
2. Placement
Compare supported hybrid runtime capabilities with the interface's adapters and patterns.
Expected evidence: Required capabilities are confirmed individually.
3. Operate
Assign customer and provider responsibilities for certificates, connectivity, upgrades and capacity.
Expected evidence: Every failure domain has an accountable owner.
4. Recover
Simulate network isolation and controlled restart using synthetic messages.
Expected evidence: Recovery follows the documented backlog and reconciliation process.
Try it yourself
Reproduce the synthetic input from the example below in a local fixture or authorized sandbox. Follow each step, record the observed result, and explain any mismatch before continuing. Do not treat the expected evidence as a result observed in your SAP tenant.
Acceptance check
The placement decision includes an operating model and tested recovery assumptions.
Common failure to avoid
Do not infer local payload processing removes all cloud dependencies or guarantees every adapter is supported.
Self-check
What must accompany a hybrid runtime decision?
Expected reasoning: A supported-capability assessment and explicit operating responsibilities.
Edition and release scope
Check the linked SAP documentation for your product, runtime, region and enabled service plan. The worked case is a simulation; these steps were not executed in a customer SAP tenant.

1. What is a failure domain in integration architecture?
2. Why place an integration runtime close to on-premise systems?
3. A single runtime handles all critical interfaces. What is the risk?
Interview questions
1. How do you decide where to run integrations: cloud tenant or hybrid runtime?
Answer it in your own words first, then compare.
2. How do you design for resilience across failure domains?
Answer it in your own words first, then compare.
