PAS-C01 Migration Practice Question
A company is migrating its SAP ERP system to AWS. The system uses an SAP HANA database and runs on SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES). The company wants to use the same SLES version on AWS and needs to ensure that the instance type supports the required SAP HANA workload. Which AWS resource should the administrator use to find the appropriate instance types?
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
✓
The SAP Certified and Supported SAP HANA Hardware Directory on the SAP website.
The SAP Certified and Supported SAP HANA Hardware Directory is the authoritative source that lists all AWS instance types certified for SAP HANA. The administrator can filter by provider (Amazon Web Services), OS (SUSE Linux Enterprise Server), and instance type to find supported options. Option A (AWS Well-Architected Framework) provides general guidance but not certified hardware lists. Option C (SAP on AWS Implementation Guide) offers deployment guidance but not the exhaustive hardware directory. Option D (AWS Trusted Advisor) checks best practices and cost optimization but does not provide SAP HANA certification details.
