The main content of this article is to explain "what is the difference between SAP running environment Cloud Foundry and Neo". Interested friends may wish to take a look. The method introduced in this paper is simple, fast and practical. Let's let the editor take you to learn "what's the difference between Cloud Foundry and Neo, the SAP runtime environment?"

The SAP cloud platform provides two operating environments: Cloud Foundry and Neo

From the figure below, you can see that Cloud Foundry runs in an environment where the infrastructure is provided by third-party companies, such as Amazon Amazon and Microsoft Microsoft. SAP is only responsible for providing and maintaining platform layer. The infrastructure and platform layer of the Neo environment are provided by SAP.

The Cloud Foundry runtime environment includes Cloud Foundry application runtime, which is built on the open source application platform of the Cloud Foundry Foundation.

A specific comparison of these two environments:

Compare from usage scenarios

If you need to develop applications based on micro-service architecture and use Internet of Things of the Internet of things or machine learning scenarios, SAP recommends that you choose the Cloud Foundry runtime environment. You can use a variety of programming models in the Cloud Foundry environment, such as Java,nodejs and SAP HANA extended application services, advanced model (SAP HANA XSA).

Neo is used for UI5,Java and HANA Extended Service development.

Compare from available regions

From the above two pictures, we can see that the available area of Neo is wider than Cloud Foundry. Note that Region refers to the physical address of the data center. As developers, when doing development, we try our best to use the environment of Region which is close to our physical material to get better performance.

Compare from supported buildpack

Cloud Foundry supports the following buildpack or even custom buildpack, while Neo does not.

The maximum memory limit that an application instance can allocate

Cloud Foundry is 4GB and Neo is 16GB.

Support for the HANA programming model

Neo only supports SAP HANA extended application services's classic model (SAP HANA XS), while Cloud Foundry supports high-level model (SAP HANA XS).

Support for virtual machines

Neo provides support for virtual machines so that you can still install and maintain the applications you need in scenarios where the platform does not support it. Cloud Foundry does not support virtual machines.

Docker support

Cloud Foundry supports Docker,Neo not.

At this point, I believe you have a deeper understanding of "what is the difference between Cloud Foundry and Neo, the SAP operating environment?" you might as well do it in practice.
