Automated SAP Migration to AWS Using Launch Wizard

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.

A company is planning to migrate their SAP ECC system to AWS. They want to minimize downtime and use an automated approach. Which AWS service should be used for the migration?

Clue words in this question

Noticing these words before you look at the options changes how you read each choice.

Clue: "minimum / minimize"
Why it matters: Asks for the least resource use — fewest addresses, smallest subnet, lowest overhead. Eliminate over-provisioned options even if they would technically work.

A
AWS Application Discovery Service
Why wrong: Discovery Service is for collecting information about on-premises servers, not for migration.
B
AWS CloudFormation
Why wrong: CloudFormation is for infrastructure provisioning, not for SAP migration.
C
AWS Launch Wizard
Launch Wizard automates SAP deployment and migration with best practices.
D
AWS Server Migration Service
Why wrong: SMS is for server-level migration, not optimized for SAP.

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

AWS Launch Wizard for SAP is the correct choice because it provides a guided, automated deployment of SAP ECC on AWS, including infrastructure provisioning, OS configuration, and SAP installation. It minimizes downtime by automating the entire migration process, from sizing to deployment, using predefined best practices.

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 Server Migration Service (SMS) with a general-purpose migration tool, but SMS only handles VM-level replication and cannot automate the SAP-specific installation and configuration steps required for a production SAP ECC migration.

Detailed technical explanation

How to think about this question

AWS Launch Wizard for SAP uses predefined templates that automatically size EC2 instances, configure EBS volumes with the correct IOPS, set up high-availability patterns (e.g., HANA system replication), and integrate with AWS Systems Manager for post-deployment automation. It also validates prerequisites like SAP S-user credentials and license keys, reducing manual errors. In a real-world scenario, a company migrating a 10 TB SAP ECC database can use Launch Wizard to automate the entire stack, including the SAP application server and HANA database, in a single workflow, cutting migration time from weeks to days.

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.
