The answer is IAM roles with permissions to create resources. This is a core prerequisite because AWS Launch Wizard automates the provisioning of infrastructure, meaning it must have the authority to create EC2 instances, VPC components, and other resources on your behalf; without these IAM permissions, the wizard cannot execute its deployment plan. On the AWS Certified SAP on AWS Specialty PAS-C01 exam, this question tests your understanding of Launch Wizard’s automation boundaries—it handles the heavy lifting of resource creation, but you must first establish the security and networking foundation. A common trap is assuming an existing SAP license or an S3 bucket is required upfront, but those are needed only later for the SAP installation media and software, not for the initial wizard launch. For a memory tip, think “IAM, VPC, Account” as the three pillars: you need the permissions, the network, and the account itself—everything else Launch Wizard builds for you.
PAS-C01 Migration Practice Question
This PAS-C01 practice question tests your understanding of migration. Match the stated requirement to the specific cloud service, access model, or configuration option — many options are valid in isolation but not for this scenario. 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 migrating their SAP environment using AWS Launch Wizard. Which THREE prerequisites must be met before using Launch Wizard for SAP deployment? (Choose 3)
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
An AWS account with appropriate permissions.
Launch Wizard requires an AWS account, IAM permissions, and a VPC. It does not require an existing SAP license or S3 bucket, though these may be needed later. EC2 instances are created by the wizard.
Key principle: Count usable hosts — not total addresses — and remember that the network and broadcast addresses are not available to hosts in standard IPv4 subnets.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
Common exam trap: usable hosts are not the same as total addresses
Subnetting questions often tempt you into counting all addresses. In normal IPv4 subnets, the network and broadcast addresses are not usable host addresses.
Detailed technical explanation
How to think about this question
Subnetting questions test whether you can identify the network, broadcast address, usable range, mask and correct subnet. Slow down enough to calculate the block size correctly.
KKey Concepts to Remember
CIDR notation defines the prefix length.
Block size helps identify subnet boundaries.
Network and broadcast addresses are not usable hosts in normal IPv4 subnets.
The required host count determines the smallest suitable subnet.
TExam Day Tips
→Write the block size before choosing the subnet.
→Check whether the question asks for hosts, subnets or a specific address range.
→Do not confuse /24, /25, /26 and /27 host counts.
Key takeaway
Count usable hosts — not total addresses — and remember that the network and broadcast addresses are not available to hosts in standard IPv4 subnets.
Real-world example
How this comes up in practice
A media company stores terabytes of video archives that are accessed once a year for audit purposes. Moving these objects to a cold storage tier (Azure Archive, S3 Glacier, or Google Nearline) costs a fraction of hot storage. Questions like this test whether you understand storage tiers, access frequency tradeoffs, and retrieval latency requirements.
What to study next
Got this wrong? Here's your next step.
Review block sizes, usable host formulas (2^n − 2), and how to find network and broadcast addresses for /24 through /30. Then practise related PAS-C01 subnetting questions on CIDR, address ranges, and subnet selection.

Variation 1. A company is migrating its SAP environment to AWS using AWS Launch Wizard for SAP. Which TWO pieces of information does Launch Wizard require to deploy an SAP system? (Choose TWO.)
easy
✓ A.SAP product version (e.g., SAP S/4HANA 2020)
B.Number of SAP users
C.On-premises IP addresses
D.AWS account ID
✓ E.SAP system ID (SID)
Why A: Option A is correct because Launch Wizard requires the SAP SID. Option C is correct because the SAP product version (e.g., S/4HANA) is needed. Option B is incorrect because AWS account ID is automatically used. Option D is incorrect because the number of users is not required; it's for sizing. Option E is incorrect because the on-premises IP is not needed.
