In which type of system environments do the side-by-side extensions typically run?

Side-by-side extensions run on SAP BTP, which is:

A – Distributed

BTP is a distributed cloud platform across:

Multiple data centers

Multiple hyperscalers

Multiple regions

Workloads run across distributed nodes and services.

B – Autonomous

Extensions operateindependentlyfrom SAP S/4HANA Cloud core.

They are:

Independently deployable

Independently versioned

Not impacted by S/4HANA upgrades

Running in isolated environments

Why C and D Are Incorrect:

C – Centralized:

Side-by-side extensibility isnotcentralized; it is explicitly distributed.

D – Heterogenic:

Extensions can run in heterogenous landscapes, but this is not the defining characteristic recognized in SAP extensibility models.
