# SAP ABAP Cloud

ReleaseOwl provides native, end-to-end CI/CD and change management for SAP BTP ABAP Environment
 ("Steampunk") applications built with the RESTful ABAP Programming (RAP) model, whose source is
 maintained in Git. This guide describes how to create and configure a RAP Application, attach it to a user
 story, and run it through its own release-pipeline tasks — checkout, merge, validate, and deploy. This guide covers RAP applications on the SAP BTP ABAP Environment (the product area governed
 by the RAP license type and the ABAP Cloud project type).

#### **Supported Git providers**

RAP applications can be sourced from any of the following version control systems:
\
Bitbucket
\
GitHub
\
Azure DevOps
\
GitLab
