PAS-C01 Migration Practice Question

A company is migrating an SAP system to AWS and needs to ensure that the SAP application can communicate with the database over a low-latency, high-bandwidth connection. What is the best practice for network architecture?

Answer choices

Why each option matters

Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.

Correct answer & explanation

✓

Place the SAP application and database in the same VPC and same Availability Zone.

Placing the SAP application and database in the same VPC and Availability Zone minimizes latency. Separate AZs increase latency. Different regions introduce significant latency. On-premises connection defeats purpose of migration.

Answer analysis

Option-by-option breakdown

For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.

  • ✗

    Place the SAP application on-premises and the database on AWS.

    Why it's wrong here

    This introduces latency over the internet or Direct Connect.

  • ✓

    Place the SAP application and database in the same VPC and same Availability Zone.

    Why this is correct

    Same AZ ensures low-latency communication.

  • ✗

    Place the SAP application and database in separate Availability Zones within the same region.

    Why it's wrong here

    Cross-AZ latency is higher than same AZ, though acceptable, but best practice is same AZ.

  • ✗

    Place the SAP application in a different AWS Region than the database.

    Why it's wrong here

    Cross-region latency is too high for SAP.
