Correct answer & explanation
✓
The EC2 instance must be SAP-certified and the number of SAPS must be licensed.
AWS requires that for running SAP production systems, the EC2 instance must be SAP-certified (listed in the SAP Certified and Supported Hardware Directory) and the customer must have licensed the appropriate number of SAP Application Performance Standard (SAPS) units for the instance type. This ensures the infrastructure meets SAP's performance and support requirements, and that the license covers the compute capacity used.
