To explain how it all comes together, we will use this blog to understand the BTP, the account model it utilizes, and how to manage BTP options, services, and environments using the BTP Cockpit.
SAP HANA
The Extension Suite is a strategic approach for extending your cloud, on-premise, non-SAP, and SAP business solutions beyond what your core system provides.
SAP Extension Suite gives you the services, tools and capabilities to build and maintain extensions to your business apps in the cloud. Use it when you need to implement additional processes on top of your existing SAP applications.

We will create tiles to integrate our SAP Screen Personas Flavors directly into the Fiori launchpad. This allows our users to access both new applications (i.e. Fiori apps) as well as the modernized classic SAP transactions (Screen Personas Flavors) all from one unified entry point. To begin, we navigate to the Fiori Designer web address. This allows us to create Catalogs, Groups, and new tiles for the content we would like to appear on the Fiori Launchpad.
A viewport in SAP Screen Personas is a view on part of your Adaptive Flavor. You can use viewports to break complex screens into multiple parts, which improves the performance and loading time of the flavor, and gives the end user a modernized UI while requiring a minimal level of effort.
Adaptive Flavors implemented in conjunction with the use of the Slipstream engine provide users a modernized UI while requiring a minimal level of effort. Adaptive Flavors allow one initial Flavor to be reused to customize different classes of mobile devices, providing a user a UI experience that seems personalized and efficient for their needs
The SAP Screen Personas Slipstream Engine is a UI5 application that runs in a browser. Unlike Web GUI, the Slipstream Engine was engineered to run on mobile devices, with the expectation that one of the main screen interactions will be touch. So, SAP Screen Personas flavors look like mobile apps when you run them on a tablet or phone.
