PAS-C01 Technology Practice Question
A company is planning to migrate its SAP ERP system to AWS. The system uses Oracle Database as its backend. The company wants to minimize licensing costs and administrative overhead. Which AWS database service is most suitable for this migration?
⚠ Common exam trap
Many candidates assume Amazon Aurora is a drop-in replacement for Oracle due to its high performance and compatibility claims, but Aurora does not support Oracle's proprietary SQL dialect, PL/SQL, or Oracle-specific database features required by SAP ERP.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Amazon RDS for Oracle
Amazon RDS for Oracle is the most suitable choice because it directly supports Oracle Database, allowing the company to migrate its existing SAP ERP system with minimal re-architecture. It reduces administrative overhead through automated backups, patching, and replication, while still using the company's existing Oracle licenses (if they choose to bring their own license) to minimize licensing costs.
