Benchmark unit for CPU capacity
Instance RAM size
EBS bandwidth or instance storage performance
Placement group or instance type network performance
Answer choices
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
SAPS: EC2 Compute Units (vCPU)
SAP sizing parameters (SAPS, Memory, Disk I/O, Network throughput) map directly to AWS EC2 equivalents (vCPU, RAM, IOPS, bandwidth). Common confusions involve swapping compute metrics with network or memory metrics.
Answer analysis
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
SAPS: EC2 Compute Units (vCPU)
Why this is correct
SAPS is a performance metric for SAP applications, which corresponds to the compute capacity measured in vCPUs or EC2 Compute Units.
Memory: Instance memory size (GB)
Why this is correct
SAP memory sizing is directly mapped to the amount of RAM available in the EC2 instance.
Disk I/O: IOPS (Input/Output Operations Per Second)
Why this is correct
SAP's disk I/O requirements are measured in IOPS, which corresponds to the EC2 instance's EBS or instance store performance.
Network throughput: Network bandwidth (Mbps)
Why this is correct
SAP network throughput needs are equivalent to the network bandwidth capacity of the EC2 instance.
SAPS: Network bandwidth (Mbps)
Why it's wrong here
Incorrect — SAPS measures compute power, not network throughput.
Memory: vCPU count
Why it's wrong here
Incorrect — memory sizing is about RAM, not CPU cores.
