A global account is the top-level structure used to manage an organization's SAP BTP environment. It provides access to subaccounts, service entitlements, directories, and platform-level administration.

A subaccount is an environment within a global account used to manage applications, services, security, and runtime configurations. Organizations can use separate subaccounts for development, testing, and production environments.

Directories provide an organizational layer for grouping subaccounts within a global account. They help administrators organize environments and manage resource distribution across business units or projects.

The SAP BTP cockpit is a web-based interface for managing platform resources. Administrators use it to configure subaccounts, manage users and permissions, access services, and monitor applications.

The service catalog displays services available for use in an SAP BTP environment, depending on the account's entitlements and configuration. Administrators can use it to identify and provision the services required by applications.

IAM manages user access, roles, permissions, and authorization to BTP resources. Proper IAM configuration helps ensure that users can access only the applications and functions required for their responsibilities.

SAP Identity Authentication Service provides authentication and identity management capabilities for SAP cloud applications. It can integrate with identity providers and support single sign-on scenarios when configured appropriately.

Role collections group related roles and permissions that can be assigned to users or user groups. They simplify authorization administration and help manage access across applications and services.

Trust configuration establishes a trusted relationship between an SAP BTP subaccount and an identity provider. It enables authentication through the configured identity service and supports secure access to applications.

Cloud Foundry is an application runtime environment used to deploy and operate cloud applications. It supports application deployment, service binding, scaling, and application lifecycle management.

An organization provides a logical structure for managing Cloud Foundry resources, while spaces are environments within an organization where applications and services are deployed. Spaces can help separate development, testing, and production workloads.

The Cloud Foundry Command Line Interface (CF CLI) is a command-line tool for interacting with Cloud Foundry environments. Developers can use it to log in, deploy applications, manage services, inspect application status, and perform operational tasks.

Buildpacks prepare applications for execution by detecting application types and supplying the necessary runtime components and dependencies. They help standardize the process of packaging and deploying applications.

Service instances are configured instances of platform services that applications can consume. Examples include database services, authentication services, messaging services, and other integration capabilities.

Applications can be deployed through the CF CLI or supported development tools, with configuration for runtime requirements and service bindings. Scaling may involve increasing application instances or adjusting allocated resources based on workload requirements.

Kyma Runtime is a Kubernetes-based runtime environment on SAP BTP. It supports cloud-native application development, containerized workloads, microservices, APIs, event-driven applications, and serverless scenarios.

Kyma modules provide additional capabilities that can be installed and managed within the Kyma environment. They can support areas such as API management, application connectivity, observability, and other cloud-native requirements.

Applications can be packaged as containers and deployed to the Kubernetes-based Kyma runtime. Kubernetes resources, services, configurations, and deployment definitions are used to manage the application workload.

Serverless functions allow developers to execute application logic without managing the underlying server infrastructure directly. They are useful for event-driven processing, lightweight automation, and backend operations.

SAP Extension Suite provides capabilities for extending SAP applications and developing additional business functionality. It supports scenarios such as side-by-side extensions, application development, integration, workflow automation, and user experience enhancements.

Side-by-side extensibility allows additional applications or services to be developed outside the SAP S/4HANA core system while integrating with it through supported interfaces. This approach helps keep custom extension logic separate from the core application.

SAP Build Apps is a low-code application development environment for creating business applications. It provides visual development capabilities for building user interfaces, application logic, and connections to backend services.

SAP Build Work Zone provides a central digital workplace for accessing business applications, content, and services. It can bring relevant SAP and other enterprise applications together into a unified user experience.

SAP Build Process Automation supports workflow and business-process automation. It can be used to design workflows, automate repetitive activities, and connect human tasks with system-based actions.

SAP HANA Cloud is a cloud database service that provides in-memory data processing and database capabilities. It can support application development, analytics, data management, and enterprise data workloads on SAP BTP.

HANA Cloud Central is an administration interface for managing SAP HANA Cloud resources. It provides capabilities for monitoring and managing database instances and related configurations.

SAP HANA Cloud Database Explorer provides tools for accessing and working with databases in SAP HANA Cloud. Developers and administrators can use it to execute SQL, inspect database objects, and analyze data.

Data provisioning involves making data available from source systems in SAP HANA Cloud. Depending on the architecture, it can involve replication, data integration, transformation, and other supported data-movement technologies.

SAP HANA Cloud Data Lake provides scalable storage for large volumes of data that may not require the same processing characteristics as frequently accessed operational data. It can complement SAP HANA Cloud database capabilities in broader data architectures.

SAP Analytics Cloud can connect with SAP BTP and related data sources to support analytics and planning scenarios. The course curriculum covers SAC architecture, BTP connectivity, live and imported data models, dashboards, predictive analytics, and planning.

A live connection allows SAP Analytics Cloud to access data directly from a supported source without importing the underlying data into SAC. This approach can help organizations work with current source-system data while retaining source-system governance.

SAP Integration Suite is a collection of cloud integration capabilities used to connect SAP and non-SAP applications, APIs, data, and business processes. It includes capabilities such as Cloud Integration, API Management, Open Connectors, and Event Mesh.

Integration flows, commonly called iFlows, define how messages are received, transformed, routed, and delivered between connected systems. They can contain adapters, mappings, routing logic, transformations, and exception-handling steps.

SAP API Management helps organizations expose, secure, govern, monitor, and manage APIs. It can be used to control access to backend services and provide standardized APIs for application and partner integrations.

SAP Open Connectors provide standardized connectivity to various third-party applications. They can simplify integration with external SaaS applications and help reduce the effort required to build individual connectivity mechanisms.

SAP Event Mesh supports event-driven integration by enabling applications and systems to exchange business events. Applications can publish and consume events to support loosely coupled and responsive business processes.

Trading Partner Management supports the configuration and management of business-to-business integration relationships. It can help organizations manage partner-specific communication requirements and integration processes.

SAP AI Core is an SAP service for running and managing AI workloads within enterprise environments. It can support AI lifecycle activities and integration of AI capabilities with business applications.
