Could we ask you to provide us with a perpetually available Hana database instance that we can use to test your provider both now and in the future? It would be ideal if you could set up and maintain this instance for us and simply supply the connection details since we do not have the time or expertise to manage this from within the community. We also ask that you waive any licensing fees for this test platform so that it is freely available to the project.

Could you add here that it needs to be accessible via our CI
infrastructure, and that they'll need to include unit tests
implementing the provider conformance suite which run on our CI ?

Without this I will strongly and vocally oppose this work, because
it's effectively asking to be broken.
