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

✓

A cluster manager (e.g., Pacemaker)

For a highly available SAP ASCS/ERS setup on AWS, three components are required: a cluster manager (e.g., Pacemaker) to manage failover (Option A), a shared file system (e.g., Amazon FSx or EFS) to store the SAP profile and transport directories (Option D), and an Elastic IP address to provide a stable virtual IP that can be moved between EC2 instances during failover (Option E). An Application Load Balancer (Option B) is not used for ASCS/ERS, and Amazon Route 53 health checks (Option C) are optional for DNS-based routing, not a required component.
