Kyma Runtime
Kyma Runtime is SAP BTP's managed Kubernetes environment for building and running cloud-native extensions, microservices, and event-driven integrations that connect to SAP and non-SAP systems. This topic covers its business purpose, provisioning and lifecycle within a BTP subaccount, core Kubernetes concepts as applied in Kyma, connectivity and security patterns, deployment workflows, observability, and how it differs operationally from Cloud Foundry and ABAP-based extension approaches.
