PAS-C01 Design of SAP Workloads on AWS Practice Question
A company wants to automate the installation of SAP HANA on AWS using CloudFormation. Which AWS service can provide a Quick Start for SAP HANA?
⚠ Common exam trap
It's easy for candidates to confuse AWS Quick Start (a collection of reference deployments) with AWS Service Catalog (a governance tool), or assume that OpsWorks or EKS can handle SAP HANA automation, but SAP HANA requires specific OS-level tuning and direct EC2 access that container orchestration or configuration management tools do not natively provide.
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
✓
AWS Quick Start.
AWS Quick Start is the correct service because it provides pre-built, automated reference deployments for SAP HANA on AWS, including CloudFormation templates that automate the installation and configuration of SAP HANA. This aligns directly with the requirement to use CloudFormation for automation, as Quick Starts are built on CloudFormation and include best-practice architectures.
