Cloud Foundry
Cloud Foundry is one of the two primary runtime environments on SAP BTP, providing an organization/space-based multi-tenant platform for deploying, scaling, and operating custom applications and integration components. This topic covers the CF architecture, subaccount-to-org mapping, application and service lifecycle, connectivity, and operational practices needed to run production workloads on SAP BTP Cloud Foundry.
