Prerequisites
- Concept Creating a Service Instance on SAP BTP
- Concept Cloud Foundry Environment
- Concept Cloud Foundry Space Roles (Space Manager, Space Developer)
- Concept Cloud Foundry Service Instance In the Cloud Foundry environment, a service instance is the provisioned instantiation of a service plan that developers create to [enable and consume services](https://help.sap.com/docs/btp/sap-business-technology-platform/d1d0fc8e78474494a59caad02259ec7e?locale=en-US&state=PRODUCTION&version=Cloud) within their applications. Developers bind service instances to applications so that the application can access the service's credentials and connection details at runtime. A service instance can also be used to generate service keys, which allow external tools or applications outside of Cloud Foundry to access the service. Developers can create, update, and manage service instances using either the SAP BTP cockpit or the [Cloud Foundry Command Line Interface](https://help.sap.com/docs/btp/sap-business-technology-platform/296cd5945fd84d7d91061b2b2bcacb93?locale=en-US&state=PRODUCTION&version=Cloud).
