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
✓
Both instances in the same VPC with private IP connectivity
SAP HSR (System Replication) requires low-latency, reliable connectivity between the primary and secondary instances to synchronize data in real-time. Placing both instances in the same VPC enables them to communicate using private IP addresses, which are internal to the VPC and typically have lower latency and higher throughput compared to public IPs. This setup is essential for meeting the RPO and RTO requirements of SAP HSR. Options A (Elastic IP), B (Internet Gateway), and D (NAT Gateway) are not necessary for HSR and may introduce additional complexity or security risks.
