  Key Concepts: 
  An instance is a single copy of the SAP Cloud Platform software that is running on a server. It is the basic unit of deployment for applications and services. Each instance has its own set of resources, such as memory, storage, and processing power.
  
  How to use it: 
  To use an instance, you must first create it in the SAP Cloud Platform cockpit. Once created, you can deploy applications and services to the instance. You can also configure the instance to meet your specific needs, such as setting up security policies or adding additional resources.
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating an instance, make sure to select the right size for your needs. If you select a size that is too small, your applications and services may not run properly. If you select a size that is too large, you may be wasting resources.
