[SAP Deployment Automation Framework](deployment-framework.md) supports deployment of all the supported SAP on Azure topologies.
15+
SAP Deployment Automation Framework is an open-source orchestration tool for deploying, installing,
16+
and maintaining SAP environments on Azure. Before you plan or modify a deployment, confirm that your
17+
framework supports the target operating systems, databases, storage options, and topologies.
