PAS-C01 Technology Practice Question
This PAS-C01 practice question tests your understanding of technology. 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.
Which THREE of the following are valid methods to automate the installation of SAP HANA on AWS? (Choose three.)
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 Launch Wizard for SAP
AWS Launch Wizard for SAP (Option B) is a valid method to automate SAP HANA installation because it provides a guided, automated deployment experience that collects input for infrastructure sizing, configuration, and software installation, then orchestrates the provisioning of AWS resources and the SAP HANA software setup. It reduces manual effort by automating the deployment of SAP HANA on AWS, making it a correct choice for this question.
Key principle: Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.

Common exam traps
Common exam trap: answer the scenario, not the keyword
The trap here is that candidates often confuse AWS Systems Manager Automation (Option A) with a general-purpose automation tool, but it lacks the SAP-specific logic and lifecycle management required for HANA installation, making AWS Launch Wizard for SAP and SAP Cloud Appliance Library the correct SAP-focused automation methods.
Detailed technical explanation
How to think about this question
AWS Launch Wizard for SAP automates the deployment by integrating with AWS CloudFormation under the hood, generating a custom template that provisions EC2 instances, storage (EBS volumes with specific IOPS and throughput), networking (VPC, subnets, security groups), and then executes SAP HANA installation scripts using AWS Systems Manager Run Command or custom resources. A subtle behavior is that Launch Wizard requires the SAP HANA software media to be pre-uploaded to an S3 bucket, and it validates the SAP HANA product ID and version before proceeding, ensuring compatibility with the chosen instance type and storage configuration.
KKey Concepts to Remember
- Read the scenario before looking for a memorised answer.
- Find the constraint that changes the correct option.
- Eliminate answers that are true in general but not in this case.
TExam Day Tips
- Watch for words such as best, first, most likely and least administrative effort.
- Review why wrong options are wrong, not only why the correct option is correct.
Key takeaway
Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.
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. Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option. Cloud exam questions reward reading the constraint carefully: the same technology can be right or wrong depending on the use case.
