A company is migrating a large-scale SAP environment to AWS. Which THREE AWS services can be used to optimize storage costs for SAP workloads? (Choose three.)

Select 3 answers
A.AWS Storage Gateway for on-premises caching
B.Amazon S3 Lifecycle policies to transition data
C.Amazon S3 Standard for all data
D.Amazon S3 Glacier for long-term backup
E.Amazon EBS Snapshots for incremental backups
AnswersB, D, E

Lifecycle policies move data to cheaper tiers.

Why this answer

Amazon S3 Lifecycle policies (Option B) allow you to automatically transition SAP backup and archival data from S3 Standard to lower-cost storage classes like S3 Standard-IA or S3 Glacier, reducing storage costs without manual intervention. This is critical for SAP workloads where large volumes of backup data accumulate over time and do not require immediate access.

Exam trap

The trap here is that candidates may confuse AWS Storage Gateway (a hybrid caching service) with a cost optimization tool for native AWS SAP workloads, or assume that S3 Standard is sufficient for all data without considering lifecycle transitions to lower-cost tiers like Glacier.

A company is migrating a legacy on-premises application to AWS. The application uses a proprietary database that is not supported by AWS Database Migration Service (DMS). The company needs to minimize downtime and automate the migration as much as possible. Which approach should be used?

A.Use AWS Database Migration Service (DMS) with a custom endpoint.
B.Use AWS Application Migration Service (MGN) to replicate the entire server, including the database, to AWS.
C.Export the database as a flat file, upload to Amazon S3, and import into Amazon RDS.
D.Use AWS Snowball to transfer database backups, then restore in Amazon RDS.
AnswerB

MGN provides continuous replication, supports any database, and automates migration with minimal downtime.

Why this answer

AWS Application Migration Service (MGN) can replicate entire servers, including the operating system, applications, and the proprietary database, to AWS without requiring database-specific support. This minimizes downtime by using continuous block-level replication and automates the migration by converting the source server into a native AWS instance. Since AWS DMS does not support the proprietary database, MGN provides a viable path for migrating the entire workload as a whole.

Exam trap

The trap here is that candidates assume AWS DMS can handle any database via custom endpoints, but DMS requires the source database to be one of its supported engines for logical replication; custom endpoints only allow connecting to unsupported targets, not unsupported sources.

How to eliminate wrong answers

Option A is wrong because AWS DMS with a custom endpoint still requires the database to be supported by DMS for the replication engine to interpret the data; a custom endpoint cannot add support for an unsupported proprietary database engine. Option C is wrong because exporting a proprietary database as a flat file is often not feasible due to proprietary binary formats, and importing into Amazon RDS would require a compatible database engine, which the proprietary database is not. Option D is wrong because AWS Snowball is designed for large-scale offline data transfer, not for minimizing downtime; it involves shipping physical devices and does not automate the migration process, and restoring a proprietary backup into Amazon RDS is impossible if RDS does not support that database engine.

A retail company is migrating its SAP ERP system to AWS. The system includes an SAP HANA database (1 TB) and an SAP NetWeaver application server. The migration strategy is to use AWS Database Migration Service (DMS) for the database and then manually install the application server on an EC2 instance. The network connection is AWS Direct Connect with 1 Gbps bandwidth. During the migration, the DMS task for the database completes successfully, but the application server installation fails because the SAP installation media is not accessible. The installation media is stored on an on-premises file server. The EC2 instance for the application server is in a private subnet with no direct internet access. The administrator has created a VPC endpoint for S3 to access the media, but the media is not in S3. Which step should the administrator take to make the installation media available?

A.Copy the installation media to an S3 bucket and use the VPC endpoint to access it.
B.Add a route in the VPC route table to direct traffic to the on-premises network via Direct Connect.
C.Attach an internet gateway to the VPC and assign a public IP to the EC2 instance.
D.Use AWS Storage Gateway to cache the media in S3.
AnswerB

Adding a route in the VPC route table to direct traffic to the on-premises network via Direct Connect allows the EC2 instance in the private subnet to communicate directly with the on-premises file server.

Why this answer

The installation media resides on an on-premises file server. The EC2 instance is in a private subnet connected via Direct Connect. To access the on-premises network, the administrator must add a route in the VPC route table that directs traffic for the on-premises IP range to the Direct Connect virtual interface (VIF).

Option A involves an unnecessary copy to S3. Option C introduces internet exposure. Option D is for caching on-premises data to S3 but does not resolve routing.

A company is migrating its SAP BusinessObjects to AWS. The current on-premises deployment uses a Windows-based environment. Which AWS service should the company use to migrate the Windows servers?

A.AWS Schema Conversion Tool (AWS SCT)
B.AWS Application Migration Service (AWS MGN)
C.AWS Database Migration Service (AWS DMS)
D.AWS Server Migration Service (AWS SMS)
AnswerB

MGN automates server migration for Windows and Linux.

Why this answer

AWS MGN is the recommended service for migrating Windows servers to AWS. Option A is wrong because AWS SCT is for schema conversion, not server migration. Option C is wrong because AWS DMS is for databases, not servers.

Option D is wrong because AWS Server Migration Service (SMS) is deprecated.

A company is migrating a large SAP Business Suite system to AWS. The system has a 10 TB SAP HANA database. The migration window is limited to 48 hours. The company has a 1 Gbps direct connect link to AWS. Which TWO actions should the company take to minimize the migration time while ensuring data consistency?

Select 2 answers
A.Use AWS Snowball Edge to transfer a full database backup from on-premises to AWS, then restore it on the target HANA instance.
B.Set up SAP HANA System Replication (HSR) and let it synchronize the full database over the Direct Connect link.
C.Use AWS DMS to migrate the HANA database directly over the Direct Connect link.
D.After the initial restore from Snowball, configure SAP HANA System Replication to synchronize incremental changes.
E.Use AWS SCT to convert the database schema before migration.
AnswersA, D

Snowball accelerates initial data transfer.

Why this answer

(initialize the target HANA instance with a backup/restore using AWS Snowball) is correct because it bypasses network limitations for the initial data load. Option D (configure SAP HANA System Replication over the Direct Connect link after initial load) is correct because it syncs incremental changes. Option B would take too long over the link.

Option C is for ongoing replication not initial load. Option E is a best practice but not for minimizing migration time.

A company is migrating a critical Oracle database to Amazon RDS for Oracle. They need to minimize downtime and ensure data consistency. Which AWS service should they use to perform an online migration with minimal impact?

A.AWS Direct Connect
B.AWS Database Migration Service (DMS)
C.AWS Snowball
D.Amazon S3 Transfer Acceleration
AnswerB

DMS supports online migration with ongoing replication, minimizing downtime.

Why this answer

AWS Database Migration Service (DMS) supports ongoing replication and can perform live migrations with minimal downtime. AWS Snowball is for offline data transfer. S3 Transfer Acceleration speeds up uploads to S3.

Direct Connect establishes dedicated network connections but is not a migration service.

An organization is migrating a legacy application to AWS. The application requires a static IP address for client whitelisting. After migrating the application to an Application Load Balancer (ALB) with an Auto Scaling group, clients report connection failures. What should be done to resolve this issue?

A.Place an Nginx reverse proxy in front of the ALB with an Elastic IP.
B.Assign an Elastic IP to the ALB.
C.Configure the ALB to use a round-robin routing algorithm.
D.Replace the ALB with a Network Load Balancer (NLB) and assign an Elastic IP.
AnswerD

NLB supports static IP via Elastic IP.

Why this answer

The correct solution is to replace the ALB with a Network Load Balancer (NLB) and assign an Elastic IP. ALBs do not have static IP addresses; they use dynamic IPs that can change. NLBs support Elastic IPs, providing a fixed IP for client whitelisting.

Option A is incorrect because adding an Nginx reverse proxy introduces unnecessary complexity and still requires a static IP. Option B is wrong because you cannot assign an Elastic IP to an ALB. Option C is incorrect because the routing algorithm does not affect the IP address; the ALB's IPs remain dynamic.

A company is migrating a web application to AWS and wants to minimize latency for global users. Which AWS service should be used to cache static content at edge locations?

A.AWS WAF
B.Amazon S3 Transfer Acceleration
C.AWS Global Accelerator
D.Amazon CloudFront
AnswerD

CDN caches content at edge locations.

Why this answer

Amazon CloudFront is a content delivery network (CDN) that caches content at edge locations, reducing latency for global users. AWS Global Accelerator (Option C) improves performance by routing traffic to optimal endpoints but does not cache content. Amazon S3 Transfer Acceleration (Option B) speeds up uploads to S3 but does not cache at edge for delivery.

AWS WAF (Option A) is a web application firewall and does not cache content.

A company is migrating a SAP BusinessObjects environment to AWS. Which AWS service can be used to automate the deployment of the SAP BusinessObjects components?

A.AWS OpsWorks
B.AWS Elastic Beanstalk
C.AWS CodePipeline
D.AWS CloudFormation
AnswerD

CloudFormation can automate SAP BusinessObjects deployment with templates.

Why this answer

AWS CloudFormation allows infrastructure as code to automate the deployment of SAP BusinessObjects. Option A is wrong because AWS OpsWorks is for Chef/Puppet, not directly for SAP. Option B is wrong because AWS Elastic Beanstalk is for web applications, not SAP.

Option C is wrong because AWS CodePipeline is for CI/CD, not infrastructure deployment.

Which THREE considerations are important when planning the migration of an SAP HANA database to AWS using HANA System Replication (HSR)?

Select 3 answers
A.The target EC2 instance must have at least the same amount of RAM as the source.
B.The source and target must be in the same AWS Region.
C.The target storage must be able to accommodate the data volume.
D.The network latency between source and target must be less than 10 ms for synchronous replication.
E.The source database must be encrypted before replication can start.
AnswersA, C, D

HANA needs sufficient memory.

Why this answer

HSR requires network latency below 10 ms for synchronous replication, and the target instance must have sufficient memory and storage. Network bandwidth is important but not the only factor. The source and target can be in different Regions, but latency must be acceptable.

Encryption is not a prerequisite for HSR.

A company wants to migrate its SAP HANA database to AWS using SAP HANA Database Backup and Recovery. The backup files are stored on an NFS share on-premises. The company wants to restore these backups directly to an Amazon EC2 instance running SAP HANA. Which AWS storage service should they use to make the NFS backup files accessible to the EC2 instance?

A.Amazon S3
B.Amazon FSx for Windows File Server
C.Amazon EFS
D.Amazon EBS
AnswerC

EFS provides NFS file system.

Why this answer

Amazon EFS provides a scalable NFS file system that can be mounted on EC2 instances. The backup files can be copied from on-premises NFS to EFS using AWS DataSync or other methods, and then used for restore. Options A, B, D are incorrect because S3 is object storage (not NFS), FSx for Windows File Server is SMB, and EBS is block storage not NFS.

A company is migrating an SAP ERP system to AWS and needs to ensure high availability for the SAP Central Services (ASCS). The company plans to use a shared file system for the SAP transport directory. Which TWO AWS services can be used to provide a highly available shared file system for this purpose?

Select 2 answers
A.Amazon EBS Multi-Attach
B.Amazon S3
C.Amazon FSx for Windows File Server
D.Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP
E.Amazon EFS
AnswersD, E

FSx for NetApp ONTAP provides NFS, supports HA.

Why this answer

Options D (Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP) and E (Amazon EFS) are correct because they provide NFS-based shared file systems that support the required protocols for SAP transport directory and can be configured for high availability. Option A (Amazon EBS Multi-Attach) is block storage, not a shared file system, and does not support concurrent read/write operations required for SAP. Option B (Amazon S3) is object storage, not POSIX-compliant.

Option C (Amazon FSx for Windows File Server) uses SMB protocol, not NFS, which is required by SAP.

A company is migrating a large SAP HANA system to AWS. The SAP system has strict latency requirements for storage and requires high IOPS. Which storage solution should be used for the SAP HANA data volume?

A.Amazon S3
B.Amazon EBS io2 Block Express volumes
C.Amazon EFS
D.Amazon EBS gp3 volumes
AnswerB

io2 Block Express delivers up to 256K IOPS and low latency, meeting HANA requirements.

Why this answer

SAP HANA on AWS requires high-performance storage with high IOPS and sub-millisecond latency. Amazon EBS io2 Block Express volumes provide up to 256K IOPS and sub-millisecond latency, making them the appropriate choice for the SAP HANA data volume. Option A (Amazon S3) is object storage, not block storage, and is unsuitable for database volumes.

Option C (Amazon EFS) is file storage, also not block storage. Option D (Amazon EBS gp3 volumes) is general purpose SSD but does not match the performance of io2 Block Express for HANA workloads.

A company is migrating a legacy application to AWS that requires a static IP address for client whitelisting. The application will run on EC2 instances behind an Application Load Balancer (ALB). The company wants to ensure the IP address does not change over time. What should the company do?

A.Assign an Elastic IP to each EC2 instance
B.Use Route 53 latency-based routing to point to the ALB
C.Use AWS Global Accelerator to get two static IP addresses
D.Use a Network Load Balancer (NLB) with an Elastic IP address
AnswerD

NLB supports static IP via Elastic IP, which can be whitelisted.

Why this answer

A Network Load Balancer (NLB) supports static IP addresses by allowing you to assign Elastic IPs directly to each of its Availability Zone subnets. This provides fixed IP endpoints for client whitelisting, while the NLB can forward traffic to the EC2 instances behind an ALB, preserving the application's architecture.

Exam trap

The trap here is that candidates often choose Global Accelerator because it offers static IPs, but they overlook that an NLB with Elastic IPs is the simpler, cost-effective solution for a single-region static IP requirement, and Global Accelerator is intended for global traffic acceleration, not just static IP assignment.

How to eliminate wrong answers

Option A is wrong because assigning Elastic IPs to EC2 instances would expose individual instance IPs, not a stable front-end IP for the ALB, and the instances are behind the ALB, so client whitelisting should target the load balancer's IP, not the instances. Option B is wrong because Route 53 latency-based routing resolves to the ALB's DNS name, which can change IP addresses over time, and does not provide static IP addresses. Option C is wrong because AWS Global Accelerator provides two static IP addresses, but it is designed for global traffic optimization and adds unnecessary complexity and cost; the question requires a simple static IP for whitelisting, which the NLB with Elastic IPs directly achieves.

B.AWS Database Migration Service (DMS)
C.AWS Data Pipeline
D.AWS Snowball
AnswerB

DMS supports ongoing replication to minimize downtime during database migration.

Why this answer

AWS Database Migration Service (DMS) supports ongoing replication to minimize downtime. Option A (AWS Server Migration Service) is for server-level migrations. Option C (AWS Data Pipeline) is for data processing.

Option D (AWS Snowball) is for large data transfers but not minimal downtime.

Which THREE factors should be considered when choosing a migration strategy for a legacy application to AWS? (Choose three.)

Select 3 answers
A.Physical location of the source server
B.Programming language used
C.Total cost of ownership (TCO)
D.Business continuity requirements (RTO/RPO)
E.Data sensitivity and compliance requirements
AnswersC, D, E

TCO influences re-architecture vs. lift-and-shift.

Why this answer

Correct options: C, D, E. Total cost of ownership (TCO) is a key factor in migration decision-making. Business continuity requirements (RTO/RPO) ensure the application meets recovery objectives.

Data sensitivity and compliance requirements dictate how data is handled during and after migration. Option A (Physical location) is less relevant because cloud migrations are not bound by physical location; servers can be migrated regardless of location. Option B (Programming language) alone does not determine the migration strategy; the application's architecture and dependencies are more important.

A company is migrating its SAP landscape to AWS and wants to use SAP HSR (System Replication) for high availability. Which AWS feature is required to support SAP HSR?

A.Elastic IP addresses for each instance
B.Internet Gateway attached to the VPC
C.Both instances in the same VPC with private IP connectivity
D.NAT Gateway for outbound traffic
AnswerC

Low-latency private IP connectivity is required for SAP HSR.

Why this answer

SAP HSR (System Replication) requires low-latency, reliable connectivity between the primary and secondary instances to synchronize data in real-time. Placing both instances in the same VPC enables them to communicate using private IP addresses, which are internal to the VPC and typically have lower latency and higher throughput compared to public IPs. This setup is essential for meeting the RPO and RTO requirements of SAP HSR.

Options A (Elastic IP), B (Internet Gateway), and D (NAT Gateway) are not necessary for HSR and may introduce additional complexity or security risks.

A company is migrating an SAP ERP system to AWS. The SAP system uses a central instance (CI) and dialog instances. The migration must minimize downtime. Which AWS service should be used to replicate the application servers in near real-time?

A.Amazon S3 Replication
B.AWS DataSync
C.AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery (AWS DRS)
D.AWS Backup
AnswerC

AWS DRS provides continuous block-level replication for low RPO.

Why this answer

AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery (DRS) provides continuous replication of block-level data, enabling near real-time replication of application servers. Option A (AWS Backup) is for scheduled backups, not real-time replication. Option B (AWS DataSync) is for one-time data transfers.

Option D (Amazon S3 replication) is for S3 objects.

A company is migrating an SAP system to AWS. They need to ensure that the migration complies with regulatory requirements for data residency. Which of the following is the most important consideration?

A.Use AWS Artifact to get compliance reports.
B.Select an AWS Region that meets data residency requirements.
C.Encrypt the data at rest using AWS KMS.
D.Store backups in an S3 bucket in a different Region.
AnswerB

Region selection is the primary control for data residency.

Why this answer

Selecting an AWS Region that meets data residency requirements is crucial. AWS Artifact provides compliance reports but does not enforce data residency. Encryption and backup locations are secondary to region selection.

A company is migrating its SAP ERP system (with Oracle database) to AWS using the SAP-certified approach. The current on-premises environment uses Oracle RAC for high availability. The company wants to reduce licensing costs and simplify the architecture on AWS. Which of the following is the MOST efficient migration strategy?

A.Use AWS DMS to migrate the database to Amazon RDS for Oracle, but then configure RDS for Oracle RAC.
B.Use AWS DataSync to copy the Oracle database files to EBS volumes, then restore on an EC2 instance.
C.Use AWS DMS to migrate the Oracle database to Amazon RDS for Oracle with a single instance. Use AWS MGN for the application servers.
D.Lift-and-shift the Oracle RAC cluster to EC2 using AWS Application Migration Service.
AnswerC

This reduces licensing costs and simplifies the architecture. DMS supports Oracle as source and target RDS Oracle.

Why this answer

AWS does not support Oracle RAC in a fully supported manner for SAP. The best practice is to migrate to Amazon RDS for Oracle (single instance) or use a single Oracle instance on EC2. Using AWS DMS with ongoing replication minimizes downtime.

Option C is correct because it uses DMS to migrate the Oracle database to Amazon RDS for Oracle single instance, which reduces licensing costs, and AWS MGN for the application servers, simplifying the architecture. Option A is incorrect because RDS for Oracle does not support Oracle RAC. Option B uses AWS DataSync, which is for file transfer, not database replication.

Option D keeps Oracle RAC, which is costly and not simplified.

A company is migrating a monolithic application to AWS. The application has a relational database with complex queries and requires low-latency read replicas. Which database migration strategy minimizes downtime and supports heterogeneous migrations?

A.Use AWS Backup to take a full backup and restore to Amazon RDS.
B.Use AWS Schema Conversion Tool (SCT) to convert the schema and perform a homogeneous migration.
C.Use Amazon Redshift Spectrum to query the data in place.
D.Use AWS Database Migration Service (DMS) with ongoing replication.
AnswerD

DMS supports heterogeneous migrations and minimizes downtime.

Why this answer

AWS Database Migration Service (DMS) supports heterogeneous migrations (e.g., from Oracle to Amazon Aurora) and can minimize downtime by using ongoing replication to keep the source and target synchronized during the migration. Option A is incorrect because AWS Backup is a backup/restore service, not a live migration tool, and typically requires downtime. Option B is incorrect because AWS Schema Conversion Tool (SCT) is used for schema conversion, not for the actual data migration; it is often used alongside DMS.

Option C is incorrect because Amazon Redshift Spectrum is for querying data in Amazon S3, not for database migration.

A.The policy does not allow s3:PutObject.
B.The policy does not include s3:AbortMultipartUpload.
C.The bucket has default encryption enabled.
D.The bucket name is incorrect.
AnswerB

DMS uses multipart uploads and requires the abort action.

Why this answer

DMS needs s3:PutObject and s3:AbortMultipartUpload actions. Option A is incorrect because the bucket exists. Option C is incorrect because encryption settings are not shown.

Which TWO considerations are critical when planning a migration of an SAP system to AWS? (Choose 2.)

Select 2 answers
A.Storage performance and IOPS requirements
B.AWS Region availability for SAP services
C.Database compatibility with target
D.Network connectivity and latency between components
E.Number of security groups allowed
AnswersA, D

Sufficient IOPS is critical for database performance.

Why this answer

The two critical considerations when planning an SAP migration to AWS are storage performance (IOPS) and network connectivity/latency. Storage performance is critical because SAP databases require high IOPS for optimal performance, and insufficient IOPS can lead to significant degradation. Network connectivity and latency between SAP components (e.g., application servers and database) are also critical to ensure low-latency communication and avoid performance bottlenecks.

Option B (AWS Region availability) is not as critical because SAP can run in any region that supports required services, though it may affect latency. Option C (database compatibility) is important but a separate migration decision, not a top-level planning consideration. Option E (number of security groups) is a security configuration detail, not a critical factor for migration planning.

A company is migrating a large-scale SAP HANA workload to AWS. The system requires high memory and low latency. Which EC2 instance type is most suitable for this migration?

A.x1e.32xlarge
B.m5.24xlarge
C.c5.18xlarge
D.r5.24xlarge
AnswerA

x1e instances are memory-optimized and SAP HANA certified.

Why this answer

The x1e.32xlarge is purpose-built for high-memory, SAP HANA workloads, offering up to 3,904 GiB of memory and high-speed NVMe SSD storage with low-latency networking. It is certified by SAP for running production HANA environments, making it the most suitable choice for this migration.

Exam trap

The trap here is that candidates often choose the r5 family (memory-optimized) thinking it is sufficient for SAP HANA, but they overlook the specific memory capacity requirements and SAP certification needed for large-scale workloads, which only the x1e instance meets.

How to eliminate wrong answers

Option B (m5.24xlarge) is wrong because it is a general-purpose instance with only 384 GiB of memory, insufficient for large-scale SAP HANA workloads that require terabytes of RAM. Option C (c5.18xlarge) is wrong because it is compute-optimized, designed for CPU-intensive tasks, not memory-intensive databases like SAP HANA. Option D (r5.24xlarge) is wrong because while it is memory-optimized, it provides only 768 GiB of memory, which is far below the x1e's capacity and not SAP HANA-certified for large-scale production deployments.

A company is migrating its on-premises web application to AWS. The application consists of a stateless web tier and a stateful database tier running on a single server. The web tier uses session data stored in the local file system. The database tier runs on MySQL. The company wants to minimize changes to the application code during migration. They plan to use Amazon EC2 for the web server and Amazon RDS for MySQL for the database. After migrating the web server to an EC2 instance and the database to RDS, users report that they are being logged out of the application frequently. What is the most likely cause of this issue?

A.The web server's session data is stored locally and is lost when the EC2 instance is replaced or restarted.
B.The RDS instance's backup window is causing database connections to drop.
C.The application's session timeout setting was reduced during migration.
D.The security group for the web server is blocking inbound session cookies.
AnswerA

Since the application stores sessions locally, any instance replacement leads to session loss.

Why this answer

The web tier stores session data in the local file system of the EC2 instance. When the instance is replaced or restarted (e.g., due to Auto Scaling, instance failure, or a maintenance event), that local session data is lost. Since the application code was not modified to use a shared session store (like ElastiCache or DynamoDB), users lose their sessions and are logged out.

This is the most likely cause because the migration explicitly minimized code changes and did not address the stateless web tier requirement.

Exam trap

The trap here is that candidates may assume session data is automatically preserved across EC2 instance lifecycles, or they may incorrectly blame RDS connectivity or security group rules, when the real issue is the lack of a shared, durable session store for the stateless web tier.

How to eliminate wrong answers

Option B is wrong because RDS backup windows do not cause database connections to drop; RDS remains available during backups (Multi-AZ or single-AZ with I/O suspension), and any brief I/O suspension would not cause web session loss. Option C is wrong because there is no evidence that the session timeout setting was changed; the problem is session data persistence, not timeout duration. Option D is wrong because security groups do not block inbound session cookies; security groups filter network traffic at the IP/port level, not application-layer HTTP cookies.

A company is migrating an SAP application server to AWS using CloudFormation. The template snippet is shown in the exhibit. The SAP application requires at least 300 GB of disk space for /usr/sap. Which change should be made to the template?

A.Change the instance type to a larger size to provide more instance storage.
B.Increase the root volume (/dev/xvda) size to 300 GB.
C.Increase the size of the second volume (/dev/xvdb) to 300 GB.
D.Add a third EBS volume of 100 GB for /usr/sap.
AnswerC

The second volume is likely for /usr/sap; increase to 300 GB.

Why this answer

The SAP application server typically needs a large disk for /usr/sap. The template currently has a 100 GB root volume and a 200 GB additional volume, total 300 GB. However, /usr/sap is usually mounted on a separate volume.

The 200 GB volume is likely for /usr/sap, but 200 GB may not be enough if the requirement is at least 300 GB. The correct action is to increase the second volume size to at least 300 GB. Increasing root volume or adding a third volume are alternatives but less direct.

A.AWS Server Migration Service (SMS)
B.AWS Schema Conversion Tool (SCT)
C.AWS Database Migration Service (DMS)
D.AWS DataSync
AnswerC

DMS supports ongoing replication to minimize downtime.

Why this answer

AWS DMS (Database Migration Service) supports ongoing replication with minimal downtime, making it ideal for migrating large databases like Oracle to Amazon RDS for Oracle while keeping the source and target in sync. Option A (AWS SMS) is for server migration, not database replication. Option B (AWS SCT) is a schema conversion tool, not for real-time data replication.

Option D (AWS DataSync) is for file-based data transfer, not database replication.

The exhibit shows the output of the describe-replication-tasks command. The task status is 'failed'. Which action should be taken to troubleshoot the failure?

A.Restart the replication task with a different migration type.
B.Modify the table mappings to exclude all tables.
C.Create a new replication task with the same settings.
D.Review the CloudWatch logs for the replication instance and task.
AnswerD

CloudWatch logs provide detailed error messages for troubleshooting.

Why this answer

The first step is to check the CloudWatch logs for DMS to find detailed error messages. Option A is wrong because restarting without investigation may lead to the same error. Option B is wrong because modifying table mappings may not be the issue.

Option C is wrong because creating a new task without understanding the failure is inefficient.

Backup and restore over Direct Connect is efficient for large databases and minimizes downtime during restore.

Why this answer

SAP HANA backup and restore is a suitable method for migrating large databases like this 6 TB system. Using AWS Direct Connect at 10 Gbps provides high throughput for transferring backup files to Amazon S3, minimizing downtime. Option B (SAP HANA system replication) requires low latency and is typically used for high availability, not one-time migrations.

Option C (AWS DMS) does not support SAP HANA as a source. Option D (AWS Snowball Edge) introduces logistical complexity and potential delays compared to a direct network transfer.

A company is migrating a production SAP HANA database to AWS. The database size is 2 TB. The migration window is 4 hours. The network bandwidth is 10 Gbps. Which migration method should be used to achieve the shortest downtime?

A.Use a backup and restore approach.
B.Use AWS DMS with full load and CDC.
C.Use SAP HANA System Replication.
D.Use AWS Snowball Edge for initial load, then CDC.
AnswerC

System Replication provides the shortest downtime, often minutes.

Why this answer

SAP HANA System Replication can achieve near-zero downtime, which is critical for a 2 TB database with a 4-hour migration window. With 10 Gbps bandwidth, initial sync completes well within the window, and ongoing replication minimizes downtime during cutover. Backup and restore (A) would likely exceed 4 hours due to data size.

AWS DMS with CDC (B) introduces overhead and is not optimized for HANA system replication. AWS Snowball Edge (D) is unnecessary given the high bandwidth and would add latency for initial load.

A company is migrating an SAP HANA database using SAP HANA System Replication (HSR) to AWS. The target EC2 instance is in a different AWS Region than the source. The network latency between regions is high. What should the migration team configure to ensure successful replication?

A.Set up a VPN connection to the target region
B.Disable HSR preload on the target
C.Use AWS Global Accelerator to route traffic over the AWS global network
D.Increase the HSR timeout values significantly
AnswerC

Global Accelerator uses optimized paths to reduce latency and jitter.

Why this answer

A VPN connection adds overhead and latency over the internet, worsening replication issues. Option B is incorrect because disabling HSR preload reduces memory usage but does not address high latency; it may even increase recovery time. Option C is correct because AWS Global Accelerator uses the AWS global network to optimize routing, reducing latency impact for HSR replication.

Option D is incorrect because increasing HSR timeout values only masks timeout symptoms without resolving the underlying latency problem.

A company is migrating a legacy application to AWS. The application currently uses Oracle Database and the company wants to migrate to Amazon Aurora PostgreSQL with minimal downtime. Which TWO steps should be taken to achieve this? (Choose TWO)

Select 2 answers
A.Use the AWS Schema Conversion Tool (SCT) to convert the Oracle schema to PostgreSQL.
B.Rehost the Oracle database on an Amazon EC2 instance to minimize changes.
C.Configure Amazon Aurora PostgreSQL with Multi-AZ for high availability.
D.Use AWS Database Migration Service (DMS) with ongoing replication (change data capture).
E.Export Oracle database as dump files and import into Aurora PostgreSQL using native tools.
AnswersA, D

SCT automates the conversion of Oracle schema objects to PostgreSQL-compatible format.

Why this answer

The AWS Schema Conversion Tool (SCT) can automatically convert Oracle database schemas (including stored procedures, views, and data types) to a PostgreSQL-compatible format, which is essential when migrating to Amazon Aurora PostgreSQL. Option D is correct because AWS DMS with ongoing replication (change data capture) allows you to keep the source Oracle database and target Aurora PostgreSQL synchronized with minimal downtime, enabling a near-zero-downtime migration by capturing and applying incremental changes.

Exam trap

The trap here is that candidates often confuse 'migration steps' with 'post-migration configuration' (like Multi-AZ) or assume that a simple dump-and-load approach (Option E) can achieve minimal downtime, when in fact it requires a full outage, whereas DMS with CDC is the correct AWS-native approach for near-zero-downtime migrations.

A company is planning to migrate its SAP NetWeaver system from on-premises to AWS. The system uses an SAP HANA database. The company wants to use the SAP System Migration (sum) tool. Which THREE prerequisites must be met before starting the migration?

Select 3 answers
A.The target SAP HANA database must be installed and running.
B.The target system must have the SAP kernel installed and appropriate libraries.
C.An HTTP proxy must be configured for communication between source and target.
D.The source and target systems must be on the same operating system (e.g., both Linux).
E.The source SAP system must be fully shut down before starting the migration.
AnswersA, B, D

Correct. The target SAP HANA database must be installed and running before starting the migration.

Why this answer

For an SAP System Migration (SUM) to AWS with HANA, the target HANA database must be installed and running (A), the target system must have the SAP kernel and required libraries (B), and source and target must be on the same OS (D) to ensure compatibility. HTTP proxy (C) is not a prerequisite; communication between source and target does not require a proxy. The source system does not need to be fully shut down before starting; SUM can be run with the source system running (E).

AWS Systems Manager State Manager enables you to define and enforce a configuration policy, including SAP kernel parameters, on running EC2 instances.

Why this answer

AWS Systems Manager State Manager is correct because it allows you to define and enforce a configuration policy for EC2 instances, including SAP kernel parameters. Option A (EC2 User Data) runs only once at launch and cannot enforce ongoing changes. Option B (AWS OpsWorks) is a configuration management service but is not the best fit for this specific task.

During the migration of an SAP NetWeaver system, the team notices that the application server performance is degraded after migrating to AWS. The system uses AWS EBS volumes for storage. Which of the following is the most likely cause of the performance degradation?

A.The EBS volumes have insufficient provisioned IOPS for the workload.
B.The EBS volumes are using the wrong volume type.
C.The EBS volumes are not encrypted.
D.The EBS volumes are not EBS-optimized.
AnswerA

Insufficient IOPS can cause performance bottlenecks.

Why this answer

If EBS volumes are not provisioned with sufficient IOPS, the application server may experience performance degradation. EBS-optimized instances and appropriate volume types are important. EBS volumes are typically designed for durability, and encryption does not cause performance degradation.

A company is migrating an SAP Business Suite system to AWS. The current on-premises system uses Oracle Database with Automatic Storage Management (ASM). The target database on AWS will be SAP HANA. Which migration strategy minimizes data conversion efforts?

A.Use AWS Database Migration Service (DMS) with Oracle as source and HANA as target
B.Use SAP Landscape Transformation (SLT) for real-time data replication
C.Use the SAP HANA Database Migration Option (DMO) with SUM
D.Perform an export/import of the Oracle database and import into HANA
AnswerC

DMO with SUM can migrate from Oracle to HANA, minimizing data conversion efforts.

Why this answer

The SAP HANA Database Migration Option (DMO) with SUM is the correct choice because it is specifically designed for migrating to SAP HANA, handling both data and schema conversion automatically, minimizing manual effort. Option A is incorrect because although AWS DMS supports SAP HANA as a target, it is not the optimal tool for SAP system migration due to the lack of integrated SAP-specific schema and data conversion capabilities. Option B is incorrect because SAP Landscape Transformation (SLT) is primarily for real-time data replication and does not provide the same level of integrated conversion.

Option D is incorrect because export/import requires significant manual data conversion and transformation, increasing effort and risk.

FSx for ONTAP delivers high-performance NFS with features optimized for SAP.

Why this answer

Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP provides a fully managed NFS solution with low latency and high throughput, ideal for SAP NetWeaver shared file systems like profiles and transport directories. Option A (S3) is object storage, not NFS. Option C (EBS) is block storage, not a shared file system.

A technology company is migrating its SAP Business Warehouse (BW) system to AWS. The system includes an SAP HANA database (2 TB) and multiple application servers. The migration plan is to use SAP HANA System Replication (HSR) for the database and AWS Application Migration Service (MGN) for the application servers. The network connection is AWS Direct Connect with 1 Gbps bandwidth. During a test migration, the HSR replication is working, but the MGN replication for one of the application servers is failing with an error: "The agent cannot communicate with the MGN service endpoint." The source server is a Windows Server 2016 machine. The administrator has verified that the source server has internet connectivity. Which action is most likely to resolve the issue?

A.Reinstall the MGN agent on the source server.
B.Configure an HTTP proxy on the source server to route traffic through the corporate proxy.
C.Create a VPC endpoint for AWS Application Migration Service in the source VPC.
D.Change the source server's OS to Linux.
AnswerB

Configuring an HTTP proxy on the source server allows the MGN agent to route traffic through the corporate proxy, which is likely required to reach the MGN service endpoint. This directly addresses the communication failure while maintaining internet connectivity.

Why this answer

The error indicates the MGN agent cannot reach the service endpoint. Since the source server has internet connectivity, the issue is likely that outbound traffic to the MGN endpoint is blocked by a corporate proxy or firewall. Configuring an HTTP proxy on the source server (option B) allows the agent to route traffic through the corporate proxy, which is a common requirement in enterprise environments.

Option C (creating a VPC endpoint) is not applicable because the source server is on-premises, not in a VPC. Option A (reinstalling the agent) does not address the connectivity issue. Option D (changing OS) is irrelevant.

B.Modify the template to increase VolumeSize to 100 and update the stack.
C.Stop the instance, modify the volume size, and start the instance.
D.Delete the stack and create a new one with a larger volume.
AnswerB

Updating the stack with a new template is the correct method.

Why this answer

Modifying the template to increase the volume size and updating the stack is the proper Infrastructure as Code approach. Option A is wrong because modifying the volume directly is not recommended for CloudFormation-managed resources. Option C is wrong because stopping the instance is not necessary for volume modification, but the template should be updated.

A company is migrating its SAP HANA database to AWS. The database is 3 TB and runs on a dedicated physical server. The company wants to use a HANA-certified EC2 instance. Which instance type should the company choose?

A.i3.16xlarge
B.x1e.32xlarge
C.m5.24xlarge
D.r5.24xlarge
AnswerB

The x1e.32xlarge is SAP HANA-certified with 1952 GB of memory, making it suitable for a 3 TB HANA database after accounting for compression and system overhead.

Why this answer

The x1e.32xlarge instance is SAP HANA-certified and provides 1952 GB of memory, which is sufficient for a 3 TB HANA database when considering compression and overhead. The other options either lack sufficient memory or are not HANA-certified. Specifically, the i3.16xlarge (488 GB) is not HANA-certified for large instances, the m5.24xlarge (384 GB) has too little memory, and the r5.24xlarge (768 GB) also lacks the required capacity.

A company is migrating a multi-tier application to AWS. The application includes a load balancer, web servers, and an Oracle database. The migration plan includes using AWS DMS for the database. During the initial full load, the DMS task fails with an error indicating insufficient memory. The source database is on an EC2 instance with 4 GB RAM. What should the migration team do to resolve this issue?

A.Disable LOB support in the DMS task
B.Split the migration into multiple smaller tasks
C.Increase the size of the DMS replication instance
D.Increase the memory of the source EC2 instance
AnswerC

More memory on the replication instance can handle large data loads.

Why this answer

The error 'insufficient memory' during the initial full load in AWS DMS typically indicates that the replication instance does not have enough memory to handle the data volume or LOB processing. Increasing the size of the DMS replication instance provides more memory for caching, transformation, and LOB handling, directly resolving the resource constraint without altering the source database or task structure.

Exam trap

The trap here is that candidates may mistakenly think the error refers to the source database's memory (Option D) or that disabling LOBs (Option A) is a quick fix, when in fact the DMS replication instance's memory is the bottleneck and must be scaled up.

How to eliminate wrong answers

Option A is wrong because disabling LOB support would prevent the migration of Large Objects, which may be required for the Oracle database, and the error is about insufficient memory, not LOB configuration. Option B is wrong because splitting the migration into multiple smaller tasks does not address the root cause of insufficient memory on the replication instance; it only reduces the data per task but still requires adequate memory for each task. Option D is wrong because the source EC2 instance's memory (4 GB RAM) is not the limiting factor; AWS DMS runs on a separate replication instance, and the error originates from the DMS task, not the source database host.

A company is migrating a multi-tier web application to AWS. The web tier uses sticky sessions. The application tier uses a shared session store. Which architecture ensures high availability and scalability?

A.Use an Application Load Balancer with sticky sessions enabled, and store sessions on each EC2 instance.
B.Use a Classic Load Balancer with sticky sessions and store sessions in RDS.
C.Use an Application Load Balancer with sticky sessions and Amazon ElastiCache for session storage.
D.Use Amazon CloudFront with origin failover and store sessions in S3.
AnswerC

Correct. The Application Load Balancer provides sticky sessions. Amazon ElastiCache is a distributed in-memory cache ideal for a shared session store, supporting high availability and scalability.

Why this answer

An Application Load Balancer (ALB) supports sticky sessions, and Amazon ElastiCache provides a scalable, low-latency, distributed session store that is shared across instances, ensuring high availability and scalability.

Option A is incorrect because storing sessions on each EC2 instance does not provide a shared session store; if an instance fails, its sessions are lost.

Option B is incorrect because while the Classic Load Balancer supports sticky sessions and RDS can be used as a session store, RDS is not optimized for high-throughput session data and the Classic Load Balancer lacks advanced features like path-based routing and is considered legacy.

Option D is incorrect because Amazon CloudFront is a content delivery network (CDN) and is not designed for session storage; S3 is object storage with higher latency, making it unsuitable for real-time session data.

The company wants to minimize manual intervention. Which approach should be taken?

A.Use AWS DMS to replicate the HANA database to Amazon RDS for HANA.
B.Set up SAP HANA System Replication (HSR) to replicate the database to AWS, then perform a takeover.
C.Export the HANA database to files, transfer via Direct Connect, and import on EC2.
D.Use AWS Application Migration Service (MGN) to replicate the entire server.
AnswerB

HSR provides synchronous replication with minimal downtime.

Why this answer

The correct approach is to use SAP HANA System Replication (HSR) to set up continuous replication from the on-premises HANA database to an SAP HANA database running on Amazon EC2. Once the systems are synchronized, a takeover can be performed with minimal downtime (seconds), meeting the <1 hour requirement. AWS DMS does not support SAP HANA as a source for ongoing replication without schema conversion, and Amazon RDS for HANA is not a supported target.

Exporting and importing the database would require significant downtime due to the 3 TB data transfer and import time. AWS Application Migration Service (MGN) replicates the entire server, but for an SAP HANA database, HSR is a more appropriate and optimized method for database migration with minimal downtime.

A.The S3 bucket is in a different region than the EC2 instance
B.The backup file is encrypted with SSE-C and the key is not provided
C.The administrator used the wrong S3 command syntax
D.The S3 bucket has a bucket policy that denies access from the instance's IAM role
AnswerD

A bucket policy can explicitly deny access even if IAM allows.

Why this answer

The AccessDenied error indicates an authorization failure. Since the IAM role grants full EC2 and S3 permissions, the issue is likely an explicit deny in the S3 bucket policy that overrides the IAM allow. Option A (different region) would cause a redirect error, not AccessDenied.

Option B (SSE-C) would produce an encryption-related error. Option C (wrong command syntax) would result in a syntax error. Therefore, option D is correct: the bucket policy denies access from the instance's IAM role.

A.Increase the size of the DMS replication instance
B.Disable transaction logging on the source database
C.Increase the source database transaction log size and enable log compression
D.Use multiple DMS tasks for parallel replication

B.Use AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery to replicate the on-premises servers to a staging area and launch test instances in a sandbox VPC.
C.Provision a full production-sized infrastructure in a separate AWS account and use AWS DMS to replicate the database.
D.Use AWS Migration Hub to track the migration progress and perform a trial migration using AWS CloudFormation templates.
AnswerB

AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery provides a cost-effective way to test migration with non-production instances.

Why this answer

AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery (AWS DRS) is the most cost-effective approach for testing SAP migration because it continuously replicates on-premises servers to a staging area with minimal resources, and allows launching test instances in an isolated sandbox VPC without affecting the source environment. This incurs low costs since staging resources are minimal and test instances are only launched temporarily. Option A is less cost-effective because DMS only handles database replication, not the full SAP system (OS, application, etc.), and a separate RDS instance still incurs costs.

Option C is expensive as it requires provisioning full production-sized infrastructure. Option D is incorrect because Migration Hub is a tracking service and does not provide a sandbox for testing.

A company is migrating an SAP HANA system to AWS using a homogeneous copy. The source database is SAP HANA 2.0 on SUSE Linux, and the target is also SAP HANA 2.0 on AWS. Which AWS service can be used to transfer the HANA backup files to Amazon S3 efficiently?

A.AWS DataSync
B.AWS Storage Gateway
C.AWS Direct Connect
D.Amazon S3 Transfer Acceleration
AnswerA

DataSync is designed for efficient, secure data transfer to S3.

Why this answer

AWS DataSync is the best choice for efficiently transferring large SAP HANA backup files to Amazon S3. It is a managed data transfer service that can automate and accelerate moving data over the internet or AWS Direct Connect. Option A (AWS DataSync) is correct.

Option B (AWS Storage Gateway) is designed for hybrid cloud storage, not for large-scale file transfers to S3. Option C (AWS Direct Connect) provides a dedicated network connection but is not a data transfer service itself. Option D (Amazon S3 Transfer Acceleration) can speed up S3 uploads but is only an acceleration feature, not a managed transfer service like DataSync.

A company is migrating its SAP ERP system running on Oracle Database to SAP HANA on AWS. The current on-premises environment has a 5 TB Oracle database with high transaction volume. The migration must be completed within a 4-hour downtime window. The target environment on AWS uses an SAP-certified instance with 1 TB of RAM. The company has a 1 Gbps AWS Direct Connect connection. The migration team is considering using SAP DMO with SUM. However, during a test run, the database export took 6 hours, exceeding the downtime window. What should the migration team do to meet the 4-hour downtime window?

A.Perform a system copy to an Oracle database on AWS first, then migrate to HANA
B.Use the SAP HANA Database Migration Option (DMO) with the 'load and move' method
C.Upgrade to a larger EC2 instance type with more CPU and memory for the HANA database
D.Use AWS Snowball Edge to transfer the initial data and then perform a delta sync
AnswerB

The SAP DMO with 'load and move' method enables the initial data load to be done before the downtime window, with only a delta sync during the downtime, thus meeting the 4-hour constraint.

Why this answer

Using the SAP HANA Database Migration Option (DMO) with the 'load and move' method allows the initial data load to be performed during the preparation phase before the downtime window, and only a delta transfer (incremental data) during the actual downtime. This significantly reduces the downtime required compared to the standard DMO method that does the full export and import during downtime. Option A is wrong because performing a system copy to Oracle on AWS first does not directly migrate to SAP HANA and adds unnecessary steps and time.

Option C is wrong because upgrading to a larger EC2 instance may improve processing speed but does not address the bottleneck of the 1 Gbps network bandwidth; the export time is limited by network speed. Option D is wrong because AWS Snowball Edge introduces additional time for shipping and data transfer, which would likely exceed the 4-hour window, and it is not optimized for the delta sync required for such a short downtime.

An organization is migrating a large SAP ERP system using SAP Landscape Virtualization Management (LVM) for system copy and refresh. During the migration, they encounter an error in LVM indicating that the target host is not reachable. What is the most likely cause?

A.The S3 bucket used for backup is not accessible.
B.The IAM role assigned to the LVM instance does not have sufficient permissions.
C.The AWS Database Migration Service is not configured correctly.
D.The security groups do not allow inbound traffic from the LVM instance to the target host.
AnswerD

Security groups control traffic; if not configured, the target is unreachable.

Why this answer

Security groups controlling traffic between source and target are a common cause. IAM roles affect AWS API calls, not network connectivity. S3 permissions are irrelevant.

AWS DMS is not used.

A company is migrating its SAP ERP system to AWS using a heterogeneous migration where the source database is Oracle and the target is SAP HANA. Which AWS service is essential for converting the Oracle schema to SAP HANA schema?

A.AWS Database Migration Service (DMS)
B.AWS DataSync
C.AWS Schema Conversion Tool (SCT)
D.AWS Server Migration Service (SMS)
AnswerC

SCT converts schemas between different database engines.

Why this answer

AWS Schema Conversion Tool (SCT) is designed to convert database schemas from one engine to another, including Oracle to SAP HANA. Option C is the correct choice. Option A (AWS DMS) migrates data but does not convert schema.

Option B (AWS DataSync) is for file transfer. Option D (AWS SMS) is for server migration.

A company is migrating an SAP application running on Windows Server to AWS. They plan to use Amazon EC2 with a Windows license included. The current application uses SQL Server Standard edition. Which migration strategy minimizes licensing costs?

A.Lift and shift to EC2 with SAP ASE BYOL on Dedicated Hosts.
B.Use EC2 with SAP ASE Standard on Dedicated Instances to ensure isolation.
C.Use Amazon RDS for SQL Server with License Included pricing.
D.Use EC2 with SAP ASE Express Edition, which is cheaper but may not support all features.
AnswerC

Amazon RDS for SAP ASE with License Included provides a managed database service where the license is included, minimizing licensing costs and reducing administrative overhead.

Why this answer

Using Amazon RDS for SQL Server with License Included pricing eliminates the need for separate SQL Server licenses, which is the most cost-effective approach for migrating the SAP application. Options A, B, and D are incorrect: A (BYOL on Dedicated Hosts) requires existing SAP ASE licenses and Dedicated Hosts add cost; B (Dedicated Instances) provides isolation but adds expense without licensing benefit; D (Express Edition) is limited in features and may not support all SAP requirements.

Exam trap

Candidates may think that Dedicated Instances or Dedicated Hosts are required for SAP isolation or compliance, but these are unnecessary for licensing cost reduction when using RDS for SQL Server with License Included.

A.Amazon EC2 Instance Store
B.Amazon Elastic File System (EFS)
C.Amazon EBS io2 Block Express
D.Amazon S3
AnswerC

io2 Block Express provides high-performance block storage for HANA.

Why this answer

Amazon EBS io2 Block Express volumes provide high performance and durability for HANA. EFS is file storage. S3 is object storage.

A company is migrating an SAP system to AWS and wants to use AWS Launch Wizard for deployment. They have an existing VPC and subnets. Launch Wizard requires the selection of a subnet for each component. What is the best practice for selecting subnets for high availability?

A.Use only private subnets without public access.
B.Select a single subnet in one Availability Zone for simplicity.
C.Create a new VPC and subnets specifically for Launch Wizard.
D.Select subnets in different Availability Zones to ensure high availability.
AnswerD

This meets best practices for SAP high availability on AWS.

Why this answer

For high availability, it is best to deploy SAP components across multiple Availability Zones by selecting subnets in different AZs. Launch Wizard supports this. Deploying all in one AZ creates a single point of failure.

Launch Wizard can use existing subnets.

A company is migrating an SAP HANA database from on-premises to AWS. The current system uses 8 TB of data. The migration must be completed within a 4-hour downtime window. The network link has 1 Gbps throughput. What is the MOST efficient migration strategy?

A.Use AWS Database Migration Service (DMS) with ongoing replication
B.Use AWS Direct Connect to increase bandwidth
C.Use AWS Application Migration Service (MGN)
D.Use AWS Snowball Edge to transfer the data offline
AnswerD

Snowball Edge can transfer 8 TB offline within the required time.

Why this answer

At 1 Gbps, transferring 8 TB over the network would take approximately 18 hours (8 TB * 1024 GB/TB * 8 bits/byte / 1 Gbps = 65536 seconds = ~18 hours), exceeding the 4-hour window. AWS Snowball Edge (Option D) can transport 8 TB offline, avoiding the bandwidth constraint. Option A (AWS DMS) would not meet the time constraint.

Option B (Direct Connect) still has the same bandwidth limitation. Option C (AWS MGN) is for server migration, not database migration.

A company is migrating its SAP system to AWS and needs to assess the current on-premises environment for compatibility. Which AWS tool should be used to collect system configuration and usage data for SAP systems?

A.AWS Application Discovery Service
B.AWS Migration Hub
C.AWS Systems Manager
D.AWS Server Migration Service (AWS SMS)
AnswerA

Application Discovery Service collects configuration and usage data to support migration planning.

Why this answer

AWS Application Discovery Service (option A) is the correct tool for collecting system configuration and usage data from on-premises environments, including SAP systems, to inform migration planning. AWS Migration Hub (option B) tracks migration progress across tools but does not perform data collection. AWS Systems Manager (option C) is for management and operations, not discovery.

AWS Server Migration Service (option D) automates server replication but does not collect configuration or usage data.

A company is migrating a large SAP HANA database to AWS. The database is 4 TB in size. They need to transfer the initial data with the least possible network usage and minimal impact on production. The data is stored on a network-attached storage (NAS) device. Which approach should they use?

A.Use AWS CLI with multipart upload over AWS Direct Connect
B.Use AWS DataSync to transfer data over the internet
C.Use AWS Database Migration Service (DMS) for continuous replication
D.Use AWS Snowball Edge to transfer data offline
AnswerD

Snowball Edge enables offline transfer, no network usage, and handles large volumes.

Why this answer

AWS Snowball Edge is a physical appliance designed for offline data transfer, making it the optimal choice for transferring a 4 TB SAP HANA database with minimal network usage. It eliminates network bandwidth consumption and avoids impacting production systems. Option A (AWS CLI with multipart upload over AWS Direct Connect) still consumes network bandwidth.

Option B (AWS DataSync over the internet) also uses network bandwidth and may be slower for large datasets. Option C (AWS DMS for continuous replication) is intended for ongoing replication and would use network resources and potentially impact production.

A company is migrating an on-premises Oracle database to Amazon RDS for Oracle. The database is 2 TB in size and has a high transaction rate. The migration must have minimal downtime. Which AWS service should be used for the migration?

A.AWS Snowball Edge
B.AWS Server Migration Service (SMS)
C.AWS DataSync
D.AWS Database Migration Service (DMS)
AnswerD

DMS supports live migration with ongoing replication.

Why this answer

AWS Database Migration Service (DMS) is the correct choice because it supports ongoing replication from the source Oracle database to Amazon RDS for Oracle, enabling minimal downtime during migration. Option A (AWS Snowball Edge) is incorrect because it is designed for large-scale offline data transfer, not for online replication with minimal downtime. Option B (AWS Server Migration Service) is for migrating on-premises servers to AWS, not databases.

Option C (AWS DataSync) is used for file-based data transfers, not database migrations.

The exhibit shows the output of the describe-replication-tasks command for an ongoing migration from SAP HANA to Amazon RDS for MySQL. The task status is 'running' but no data has been transferred after 2 hours. What is the most likely cause?

A.The replication instance has insufficient memory
B.The source endpoint is not accessible from the replication instance
C.The target endpoint is pointing to the wrong database
D.The HANA database is not configured as a target
AnswerB

If the source endpoint is not accessible from the replication instance, the task can appear as 'running' while it repeatedly tries to connect or validate the endpoint. This matches the symptom of no data transfer after 2 hours with a running status and is the most likely cause.

Why this answer

When the replication task status is 'running' but no data has been transferred after a significant period, it often indicates that the task is stuck in a preliminary validation phase. The most common reason is that the source endpoint is not accessible from the replication instance. The task may attempt to connect repeatedly without failing, hence the 'running' status.

Insufficient memory (A) would typically cause performance degradation or errors, not a complete lack of transfer. A wrong target endpoint (C) would likely result in immediate task failure. Configuring HANA as a target (D) is irrelevant because HANA is the source in this migration.

Refer to the exhibit. A company is migrating an SAP application server running on Windows to AWS. They launched an EC2 instance with Windows Server. After launching, they run the command and get the output shown. They need to install SAP software. What additional step is required before installing SAP?

A.Change the instance type to a memory-optimized instance
B.Stop and start the instance to initialize the Windows OS
C.Modify the security group to allow SAP-specific ports
D.Join the EC2 instance to an Active Directory domain
AnswerD

SAP on Windows typically requires domain membership.

Why this answer

SAP on Windows requires an Active Directory (AD) domain for Kerberos-based authentication, which is essential for SAP system communication. Before installing SAP software, the EC2 instance must be joined to an AD domain (e.g., via AWS Managed Microsoft AD or self-managed AD). Option A is incorrect because instance type selection should meet SAP requirements, but changing to memory-optimized is not a prerequisite for installation.

Option B is incorrect: the instance is already running and stopping/starting does not initialize the OS beyond normal boot. Option C is incorrect: security group rules for SAP ports can be configured at any time before or after installation.

A large enterprise is migrating its SAP S/4HANA system to AWS. The system includes a production SAP HANA database (4 TB) and a development SAP HANA database (1 TB). The migration strategy is to use SAP HANA System Replication (HSR) for both databases to EC2 instances in the same AWS region. The company has a compliance requirement that the production database must be in a different AWS account than the development database. The network between on-premises and AWS uses AWS Direct Connect with 10 Gbps bandwidth. During the test migration, the HSR replication for the development database works, but the production database fails to establish replication. The error log shows: "HSR connection timed out." The security groups and network ACLs for the production target EC2 instance allow inbound traffic on port 30101 from the on-premises source IP. What is the most likely cause of the failure?

A.The production target EC2 instance is in a different AWS account, and there is no VPC peering or Transit Gateway between the accounts to allow connectivity.
B.The production source HANA instance is not configured to replicate to a different AWS account.
C.The production target EC2 instance is using the wrong port for HSR.
D.The security group on the production target EC2 instance does not allow inbound traffic on port 443.
AnswerA

Cross-account communication needs VPC peering or Transit Gateway.

Why this answer

HSR requires communication between the source and target HANA instances. If the target is in a different account, VPC peering or Transit Gateway is needed for cross-account connectivity. Option A is correct because cross-account communication requires VPC peering or Transit Gateway.

Option B is wrong because the port is correct. Option C is wrong because HSR does not use port 443. Option D is wrong because the source is on-premises, not in another AWS account.

A company is migrating an on-premises SAP HANA database to AWS. The database is 10 TB and requires high IOPS. Which EC2 instance type and storage configuration is most appropriate?

A.x1e.32xlarge with EBS io1 volumes
B.r5.24xlarge with EBS io1 volumes
C.x1e.32xlarge with instance store volumes
D.r5.24xlarge with EBS gp2 volumes
AnswerA

x1e is certified for HANA, io1 provides high IOPS.

Why this answer

The x1e.32xlarge instance is SAP HANA certified and provides the required memory for large HANA databases. EBS io1 volumes deliver the high IOPS needed for the 10 TB database. Option B (r5.24xlarge with io1) is incorrect because r5 instances are not HANA optimized.

Option C (x1e.32xlarge with instance store) is incorrect because instance store is ephemeral and not suitable for persistent data. Option D (r5.24xlarge with gp2) is incorrect because gp2 cannot achieve the high IOPS required for this workload.

A company is migrating an SAP HANA database from on-premises to AWS using SAP HANA System Replication (HSR). They have set up the replication but the target database is not in sync. Which THREE configuration items should the migration team verify? (Choose THREE.)

Select 3 answers
A.The hostname resolution between source and target
B.The HANA version and build number are compatible
C.The SAP HANA license is activated on the target
D.The network connectivity and firewall rules allow HSR traffic
E.The storage type (SSD vs HDD) is identical
AnswersA, B, D

HSR uses hostnames; DNS or /etc/hosts must be correct.

Why this answer

HSR requires proper hostname resolution between source and target; if the target cannot resolve the source hostname, replication fails. Option B is correct because HSR requires the same major HANA version and build number; mismatches can prevent synchronization. Option C is incorrect because the SAP HANA license is not required for replication; it is tied to each system individually.

Option D is correct because network connectivity and firewall rules must allow traffic on the HSR port (typically 3<instance>01); blocked ports will stop replication. Option E is incorrect because storage type (SSD vs HDD) does not affect HSR synchronization; replication works independently of underlying storage.

A company is migrating an SAP Business Suite system to AWS. They want to reduce storage costs by using Amazon S3 for archiving. Which TWO AWS services can be used to integrate SAP with Amazon S3 for archiving?

Select 2 answers
A.Amazon S3 Batch Operations
B.Amazon S3 Glacier
C.Amazon CloudFront
D.AWS Storage Gateway (file gateway)
E.SAP Data Archiving with S3 as the archive store
AnswersD, E

File gateway presents a file interface to S3 for SAP archiving.

Why this answer

Options D and E are correct. AWS Storage Gateway (file gateway) provides a file interface to Amazon S3, allowing SAP systems to write archive files to file shares that are backed by S3, thus integrating SAP archiving with S3. SAP Data Archiving with S3 as the archive store is a native SAP solution that directly uses S3 as a target for archiving objects.

Option A is incorrect because Amazon S3 Batch Operations performs bulk actions on existing S3 objects, not for archiving from SAP. Option B is incorrect because Amazon S3 Glacier is a storage class, not a service for integration; it can be used as a destination within S3 lifecycle policies but is not directly integrated with SAP. Option C is incorrect because Amazon CloudFront is a content delivery network (CDN) and is not designed for SAP archiving.
