PAS-C01 Design of SAP Workloads on AWS Practice Question
This PAS-C01 practice question tests your understanding of design of sap workloads on aws. Read the scenario carefully and evaluate each option against the stated constraints before committing to an answer. 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.
Which TWO of the following are valid methods to monitor SAP HANA performance on AWS? (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
✓
SAP HANA Studio
SAP HANA Studio is a native SAP tool that provides direct access to HANA system performance metrics, including memory usage, CPU load, and query execution times, via SQL and MDX connections. Amazon CloudWatch with the CloudWatch agent can also collect SAP HANA metrics by utilizing the agent's built-in support for HANA or by running custom scripts, making it a valid method for monitoring performance on AWS. Both options are correct as they provide performance monitoring capabilities for SAP HANA.
Key principle: Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.

Trusted Advisor provides best-practice checks, not HANA performance.
Common exam traps
Common exam trap: answer the scenario, not the keyword
The trap here is that candidates may confuse AWS Config or Inspector with monitoring services, but neither collects application-level performance data; they are governance and security tools, respectively.
Detailed technical explanation
How to think about this question
The CloudWatch agent can be configured with a custom metrics plugin to collect SAP HANA metrics via the HANA SQL interface (e.g., querying M_MEMORY, M_CPU_USAGE, or M_SERVICE_REPLICATION tables) and push them as CloudWatch custom metrics. This allows integration with CloudWatch alarms and dashboards, enabling automated scaling or alerting based on HANA-specific thresholds like row store memory pressure or column store delta merge activity.
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.
