PAS-C01 Migration Practice Question
This PAS-C01 practice question tests your understanding of migration. The scenario asks you to isolate a root cause — eliminate options that address a different problem before choosing. 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 an SAP system to AWS. They want to use AWS Launch Wizard to deploy SAP. Which TWO prerequisites are required for using Launch Wizard? (Choose TWO.)
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
✓
An EC2 key pair for SSH access to the SAP instances
AWS Launch Wizard for SAP requires an EC2 key pair to enable SSH access to the SAP instances for initial configuration and troubleshooting. Without a key pair, you cannot securely connect to the instances after deployment, which is a fundamental prerequisite for any EC2-based deployment.
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
Cisco often tests the misconception that you must purchase SAP licenses through AWS Marketplace, but Launch Wizard supports BYOL, so a Marketplace subscription is not a prerequisite.
Detailed technical explanation
How to think about this question
Launch Wizard uses the EC2 key pair to inject the public key into the instance's authorized_keys file during launch, enabling password-less SSH authentication. The IAM role for Launch Wizard must include permissions for EC2, CloudFormation, and Systems Manager to orchestrate the deployment, and it is automatically created if you use the Launch Wizard console with the 'Create a role' option. In real-world scenarios, failing to specify a key pair results in an immediate validation error, preventing the deployment from starting.
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 company's IT admin needs to give a contractor read-only access to production logs without sharing account credentials. Using role-based access control (RBAC) and temporary scoped permissions — not a permanent shared password — is the correct pattern. Questions like this test whether you can apply least-privilege access across cloud identity services.
