PAS-C01 Design of SAP Workloads on AWS Practice Question
A company is migrating SAP applications to AWS and needs to ensure that the environment meets SAP certification. Which TWO AWS services are specifically designed to help validate SAP workloads on AWS?
⚠ Common exam trap
Candidates often confuse general governance or security services (like AWS Config or Inspector) with SAP-specific validation tools, failing to recognize that only services with explicit SAP certification logic (Launch Wizard and Trusted Advisor) can validate SAP workloads for certification.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
AWS Launch Wizard for SAP
AWS Launch Wizard for SAP (Option B) is specifically designed to guide you through the sizing, configuration, and deployment of SAP systems on AWS, automatically generating a CloudFormation template that adheres to SAP certification requirements. AWS Trusted Advisor (Option E) provides checks for SAP-specific best practices, such as verifying that your EC2 instances are SAP-certified and that your storage configuration meets SAP's performance requirements. Both services directly help validate that your SAP workload meets SAP's certification criteria on AWS.
