If you want to create a service in the Cloud Foundry environment using the SAP Cloud Deployment service, you must define an MTA resource first. These resources can have different types and parameters which modify their behavior. There is a predefined set of supported resource types, that in most cases represents a certain combination of service offering and plan. See Predefined MTA Resource Types.
resources: - name: my-xsuaa-service type: com.sap.xs.uaa
The result will be a service instance called my-xsuaa-service
with service offering xsuaa
and service plan application
.
For a more flexible approach, see Generic MTA Resource Types and Resource-Specific Parameters.
In most of cases, MTA resources represent a Cloud Foundry service, but there are cases where they represent a different platform entity, for example a service key. They can even serve only to a group of configurations. See Resources for more information.
