PAS-C01 Design of SAP Workloads on AWS Practice Question
An SAP administrator is setting up a disaster recovery (DR) site for SAP S/4HANA in a different AWS Region. To minimize data loss, which THREE strategies should be implemented? (Choose THREE.)
⚠ Common exam trap
Many candidates confuse EBS Multi-Attach (a single-AZ feature) with cross-region replication, or assume CloudFront can serve as a database cache, when in fact it is only for HTTP/HTTPS content delivery and cannot handle SAP HANA data.
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
✓
Set up automated EBS snapshots of HANA volumes and copy them to the DR region.
Automated EBS snapshots of HANA volumes can be copied to the DR region using AWS Backup or custom scripts, providing point-in-time recovery with minimal data loss. This strategy ensures that persistent data is asynchronously replicated across regions, which is a standard approach for SAP disaster recovery.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Set up automated EBS snapshots of HANA volumes and copy them to the DR region.
Why this is correct
Snapshots provide recoverable point-in-time copies in the DR region.
- ✓
Implement cross-Region replication for Amazon EFS file systems used for SAP transport.
Why this is correct
EFS replication ensures transport files are available in the DR region.
- ✓
Configure SAP HANA system replication using asynchronous mode across regions.
Why this is correct
Asynchronous replication across regions minimizes data loss while accounting for latency.
- ✗
Use EBS Multi-Attach volumes to share disks between regions.
Why it's wrong here
Multi-Attach is only within a single Availability Zone.
- ✗
Use Amazon CloudFront to cache HANA data in the DR region.
Why it's wrong here
CloudFront is a CDN, not for database DR.
