Create Service Instances and Service Bindings

To use an SAP BTP service in your Kyma cluster, create its service instance and service binding using Kyma dashboard or kubectl.

Prerequisites

• You have the SAP BTP Operator module in your cluster. See Adding and Deleting a Kyma Module.
• For CLI interactions: kubectl configured to communicate with your Kyma instance. See Access a Kyma Instance Using kubectl.
• For an enterprise account, you have added quotas to the services you purchased in your subaccount. Otherwise, only default free-of-charge services are listed in the service marketplace. Quotas are automatically assigned to the resources available in trial accounts. For more information, see Configure Entitlements and Quotas for Subaccounts.
• You know the service offering name and service plan name for the SAP BTP service you want to connect to your Kyma cluster¹.
