It is the environment in which the software runs and stores data. An instance can be either a physical or virtual machine, depending on the customer's needs. 
  
  How to use it: 
  In order to use an instance of SAP, customers must first install the software on their chosen platform. This can be done either manually or through an automated process. Once installed, customers can then configure the instance to meet their specific needs. This includes setting up user accounts, configuring security settings, and setting up data storage. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When configuring an instance of SAP, it is important to ensure that all security settings are properly configured. This includes setting up user accounts with appropriate permissions and ensuring that all data is stored securely. Additionally, it is important to regularly back up any data stored in the instance in order to prevent data loss in case of an emergency.
