PAS-C01 Design of SAP Workloads on AWS Practice Question
This PAS-C01 practice question tests your understanding of design of sap workloads on aws. This is a configuration task: choose the command set that satisfies every stated requirement. Small differences — like 'secret' vs 'password' or 'transport input ssh' vs 'all' — change whether the answer is correct. After answering, compare your reasoning against the explanation and wrong-answer breakdown below. Once you have made your selection, read the full explanation to reinforce the concept and understand why each distractor is designed to mislead on exam day.
Network Topology
An SAP administrator runs the AWS CLI command shown in the exhibit for an EC2 instance running SAP HANA. The administrator notices that the /dev/sdf volume does not have DeleteOnTermination set to true. What is the impact of this configuration?
Why wrong: It is correct that it will not be deleted, but it will be detached? Actually, it will remain attached? No, upon termination, volumes with DeleteOnTermination false are detached and retained.
B
The volume will be automatically deleted when the instance is terminated.
Why wrong: DeleteOnTermination is false, so it will not be deleted.
C
The volume cannot be attached to another instance.
Why wrong: It can be reattached to another instance.
D
The volume will persist after instance termination, preserving data.
The volume will be retained and can be reattached.
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
The volume will persist after instance termination, preserving data.
The correct answer is C because if DeleteOnTermination is false, the EBS volume will persist after instance termination. This is important for data volumes like HANA data. Option A is incorrect because the volume remains in the account. Option B is incorrect because it will not be deleted. Option D is incorrect because the volume is attached.
Key principle: NAT direction and interface roles matter as much as the IP address mapping. Inside/outside designation controls which traffic is translated.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
✗
The volume will be detached but not deleted.
Why it's wrong here
It is correct that it will not be deleted, but it will be detached? Actually, it will remain attached? No, upon termination, volumes with DeleteOnTermination false are detached and retained.
✗
The volume will be automatically deleted when the instance is terminated.
Why it's wrong here
DeleteOnTermination is false, so it will not be deleted.
✗
The volume cannot be attached to another instance.
Why it's wrong here
It can be reattached to another instance.
✓
The volume will persist after instance termination, preserving data.
Why this is correct
The volume will be retained and can be reattached.
Related concept
Static NAT maps one inside address to one outside address.
Common exam traps
Common exam trap: NAT rules depend on direction and matching traffic
NAT is not only about the public address. The inside/outside interface roles and the ACL or rule that matches traffic are just as important.
Detailed technical explanation
How to think about this question
NAT questions usually test address translation, overload/PAT behaviour, static mappings and whether the right traffic is being translated. Read the interface direction and address terms carefully.
KKey Concepts to Remember
Static NAT maps one inside address to one outside address.
PAT allows many inside hosts to share one public address using ports.
Inside local and inside global describe the private and translated addresses.
NAT ACLs identify traffic for translation, not always security filtering.
TExam Day Tips
→Identify inside and outside interfaces first.
→Check whether the scenario needs static NAT, dynamic NAT or PAT.
→Do not confuse NAT matching ACLs with normal packet-filtering intent.
Key takeaway
NAT direction and interface roles matter as much as the IP address mapping. Inside/outside designation controls which traffic is translated.
Real-world example
How this comes up in practice
A cloud solutions architect for a retail company is evaluating services for a new workload. The correct answer here reflects best practice for the specific scenario described — not a general cloud recommendation. NAT direction and interface roles matter as much as the IP address mapping. Inside/outside designation controls which traffic is translated. Cloud exam questions reward reading the constraint carefully: the same technology can be right or wrong depending on the use case.
What to study next
Got this wrong? Here's your next step.
Review the four NAT address types (inside local, inside global, outside local, outside global), PAT port overload, and static vs dynamic NAT use cases. Then practise related PAS-C01 NAT questions on configuration and troubleshooting.
