Working with Environment Instances

Create an instance of an environment to consume in your subaccount.

On a subaccount level, environments constitute the actual platform-as-a-service (PaaS) offering of SAP BTP that allows for the development and administration of business applications.

Each environment comes equipped with specific tools, technologies, and runtimes that you need to build applications. The availability of different environments allows for greater flexibility in your development process. For more information, see Environments.

If you've created a multi-environment subaccount, you can use it as a single address to host various applications and offer diverse development options. For more information about creating multi-environment subaccounts, see Create a Subaccount.

There are two ways to enable an environment for consumption in a subaccount, from the Service Marketplaceand from the Overview pages of the SAP BTP cockpit. If you need more information about an environment and its available plans, we recommend that you use the Service Marketplace. But if you are already familiar with the environment, use the Overview page.

Enabling Environments from the Service Marketplace Page

Environments are offered in the Service Marketplace of the SAP BTP cockpit together with other services.

To find them in your subaccount, from the navigation bar select Services > Service Marketplace, and then from the dropdown menu of the All Types filter, select Environments.

Choose the tile of the environment that you want to enable for consumption in your subaccount, and then in the top-right corner of the tile, select (Create) to open the wizard to manually configure your environment instance.

Currently, you can enable the Cloud Foundry or Kyma environment.

Enabling Environments from the Subaccount Overview Page

From the navigation bar, select Overview.

Choose an environment you want to enable for consumption by selecting either Enable Cloud Foundry or Enable Kyma.

This action opens a wizard to configure an environment instance.

Note:

Wizard that opens on this page is environment-specific, therefore its layout is slightly different from the wizard that opens when creating an environment instance on the Service Marketplace page.

For more information, see Create a Kyma Environment instance from Service Marketplace.

Assigning Labels to Environment Instances

You can assign labels to environment instances to make them searchable and organized according to various criteria.

For more information, see Labels.

Note:

For environment instances, these custom labels are user-defined and apply only to SAP BTP. They are not the same labels that might be defined by your environment broker.

Procedure

  1. In the navigation area, choose Services > Instances and Subscriptions.

  2. Find the instance to which you want to assign labels under the Environment section of the page.

  3. Select the actions () menu and from the dropdown list, choose Add Labels.

    Note:

    If there are already labels assigned to the service instance, the action becomes Change Labels.

    You can see the existing labels under the Labels column.

    If you do not see the column, unhide it by clicking on ⚙️.
