 Editing connection to external keystores 

You can use Unified Key Orchestrator to edit connection to external keystores with the IBM Cloud® console, or programmatically with the Unified Key Orchestrator API.

You can edit the connection to keystores that are external to your service instance on IBM Cloud®, or from other cloud providers such as Microsoft Azure Key Vault, Amazon Web Services (AWS) Key Management Service (KMS), and Google Cloud KMS.



 Editing connection to external keystores with the IBM Cloud console 

You can only change the keystore name and connection properties one by one.

To edit the connection to an external keystore by using the console, complete the following steps:



1. [Log in to the Hyper Protect Crypto Services instance](https://cloud.ibm.com/login).
2. Click Target keystores from the navigation to view all the available keystores.
3. Click the external keystore that you want to edit. The Details side panel is displayed.
4. Click Edit in each property card to update keystore properties.

Because the keystore connection is already established, you cannot make changes to identifying properties that are marked with a Lock icon.

Connecting IBM MQ to Event Streams by using the Kubernetes Service 

The following task walks you through:



* Getting the Kafka Connect runtime to run in an IBM Cloud® Kubernetes Service cluster.
* Starting the IBM MQ Source Connector to copy messages from an IBM MQ source queue to a destination Kafka topic in Event Streams.



The IBM MQ Source Connector connects to an IBM MQ queue manager and consumes MQ message data from an MQ queue. The Connector converts each MQ message into a Kafka record and sends the message to an Event Streams Kafka topic.

Complete the following steps to get set up:



 Step 1. Install the prerequisites 

Ensure you have the following software and services installed:



* An Event Streams instance - Standard or Enterprise plan.
* An instance of [IBM MQ on Cloud](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/mqcloud?topic=mqcloud-mqoc_getting_started) or [IBM MQ Version 8](https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/downloading-ibm-mq-80), or later.

You can configure the IBM MQ Connector to authenticate with IBM MQ by using a user identifier and password. We recommend that you grant the following permissions only to the identity associated with an instance of the MQ bridge:



* CONNECT authority. The IBM MQ Connector must be able to connect to the MQ queue manager.
* GET authority for the queue that the IBM MQ Connector is configured to consume from.



* An IBM Cloud® Kubernetes Service cluster. You can provision one for testing purposes at no cost.

You also need CLI access to your cluster. For more information, see [Setting up the CLI and API](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/containers?topic=containers-cs_cli_install).
* A recent version of kubectl
* [Git](https://git-scm.com/downloads)







 Step 2. Clone the kafka-connect repositories

 Compute Profiles of SAP-certified VMware on Classic Infrastructure 

VMware runs on the same SAP-certified Bare Metals. Therefore, the VMware vSphere (ESXi) installation on the certified hardware enables the VMware-SAP certification and agreements to be valid. Therefore, all VMware-SAP certification guidance must be followed (as described in SAP Notes for VMware-SAP).

VMware SDDC is available as a customer-controlled root-access hypervisor, which is certified to run SAP workloads. Providing VMware SDDC does not automatically provide a pre-sized virtual machine for SAP HANA or SAP NetWeaver upon provisioning either the OS image with VMware vSphere (ESXi) for the Bare Metal or the fully automated setup from IBM Cloud for VMware Solutions Dedicated. You choose how to size and configure your SAP Workloads (for SAP HANA, size and configuration is under the SAP HANA TDI delivery model).

When you run SAP workloads on VMware, you have significant flexibility and the full capabilities which VMware built to run SAP workloads over decades is available to use.

Using VMware for SAP workloads on IBM Cloud is certified, by using the "TDI" delivery model for which you would need to run validation checks to gain SAP Support.

However, VMware SDDC is a Type 2 hypervisor and therefore does have a small overhead of CPU/RAM that is used for running ESXi on the Bare Metal server. This CPU/RAM overhead is then available for virtual machines to use. On average this overhead is 10%, and is expected by VMware-SAP in virtualized environments.
