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
✓
Confirm that the operating system is SAP certified for HANA
To validate that the target AWS environment meets SAP HANA certification requirements, two key checks are necessary: (1) the EC2 instance type must be listed in the SAP HANA certified instance list (Option E), and (2) the operating system must be SAP certified for HANA (Option D). Option A (configuring 10 Gbps network bandwidth) is not a certification requirement; SAP HANA instances automatically use enhanced networking with adequate bandwidth. Option B (using an AMI from AWS Marketplace) is not required; you can install SAP HANA on any certified OS. Option C (ensuring EBS volumes are optimized for high throughput) is not a specific certification criterion; EBS optimization is automatically enabled on supported instance types.
