Correct answer & explanation
✓
Pacemaker cluster for SAP Central Services
To achieve high availability for SAP S/4HANA on AWS, three components are required. A Pacemaker cluster (option A) manages SAP Central Services (ASCS and ERS) by automating failover. Multi-AZ deployment for SAP HANA (option B) ensures database high availability by replicating across Availability Zones. Amazon EFS (option D) provides a shared file system for the SAP transport directory, essential for consistent failover. Option C (Single Availability Zone) lacks redundancy, and option E (AWS Transit Gateway) is a networking component unrelated to high availability.
