- A
Memory (RAM) size relative to the HANA workload
HANA is memory-bound; sufficient RAM is critical.
- B
GPU acceleration capabilities
Why wrong: HANA does not require GPU.
- C
EBS-optimized by default
Why wrong: EBS-optimized is important but not unique to HANA.
- D
Network throughput and latency
HANA requires high network performance for replication and client access.
- E
SAP certification of the instance type
Only SAP-certified instances are supported for production HANA.

PAS-C01 Memory (RAM) Practice Question
This PAS-C01 practice question tests your understanding of migration. Read the scenario carefully and evaluate each option against the stated constraints before committing to an answer. A key principle to apply: memory (RAM). 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 THREE factors should be considered when selecting an EC2 instance type for an SAP HANA production system during migration? (Choose 3.)
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
✓
Memory (RAM) size relative to the HANA workload
Options A, D, and E are correct because SAP HANA is memory-intensive and requires sufficient RAM (A), high network throughput and low latency for data replication and client access (D), and must be run on instance types certified by SAP for HANA workloads (E). Option B is incorrect because GPU acceleration is not a requirement for standard SAP HANA production systems. Option C is incorrect because while EBS-optimized is recommended for consistent performance, it is not a primary selection factor compared to the others.

Common exam traps
Common exam trap: answer the scenario, not the keyword
Many certification questions include familiar terms but test a specific constraint. Read the exact wording before choosing an answer that is generally true but wrong for this case.
Detailed technical explanation
How to think about this question
Treat this as a scenario question. Identify the problem, the constraint, and the best action. Then compare each option against those facts.
KKey Concepts to Remember
- Memory (RAM)
- Network throughput and latency
- SAP certification
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
Memory (RAM)
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.
