PAS-C01 Design of SAP Workloads on AWS Practice Question
A company is planning to run SAP S/4HANA on AWS. The architect needs to ensure that the EC2 instances are SAP certified for the specific SAP HANA version. Where should the architect verify the instance certification?
⚠ Common exam trap
Watch out — candidates often assume AWS documentation or the AWS Management Console would contain SAP certification details, but only the SAP Hardware Directory provides the official, legally binding certification status for SAP HANA workloads.

This directory is the only place where SAP officially validates that an EC2 instance meets the exact hardware and firmware requirements for a given SAP HANA release, ensuring compliance with SAP's certification standards.
