A company is migrating a SAP system to AWS and needs to ensure that the SAP license is compliant. The current license is based on the number of users. What is the correct approach for SAP licensing on AWS?

A.Purchase a SAP license through AWS Marketplace that is included in the EC2 instance cost.
B.Use AWS License Manager to track the number of vCPUs and report to SAP.
C.Bring your own SAP license to AWS and ensure compliance with the user-based metric.
D.Use AWS License Manager to convert the user-based license to a processor-based license.
AnswerC

SAP allows BYOL to AWS.

Why this answer

Option C is correct because SAP licensing on AWS follows the same model as on-premises; the customer must license the SAP software based on users or engine size. Option A is wrong because AWS does not offer bring-your-own-license for all SAP products, but it is allowed. Option B is wrong because AWS does not include SAP licenses.

Option D is wrong because AWS does not provide SAP licenses.

Which THREE factors should be considered when selecting an AWS Region for a migration to minimize latency for users in Europe? (Choose three.)

Select 3 answers
A.Data residency and compliance requirements
B.Availability of required AWS services in that Region
C.Proximity to user base
D.Number of Availability Zones in the Region
E.Cost of data transfer between Regions
AnswersA, B, C

Data may need to stay in specific countries.

Why this answer

Data residency and compliance requirements (Option A) are critical when selecting an AWS Region for a migration to minimize latency for users in Europe because many European countries have strict data sovereignty laws (e.g., GDPR) that mandate personal data remain within the EU/EEA. Choosing a Region outside Europe would violate these regulations, regardless of latency benefits, and could result in legal penalties. Therefore, compliance directly influences which Regions are permissible, making it a primary factor in Region selection.

Exam trap

The trap here is that candidates often confuse Availability Zone count with latency optimization, but Availability Zones are designed for resilience within a Region, not for reducing user-facing latency.

MCQeasy

A company wants to migrate a 10 TB SAP HANA database to AWS with minimal downtime. The network bandwidth between the on-premises data center and AWS is 1 Gbps. Which migration method is most suitable?

A.Use AWS Snowball Edge to transfer the initial data load, then use AWS DMS for ongoing replication.
B.Use SAP HANA System Replication directly over the internet.
C.Use AWS DMS with ongoing replication to migrate data incrementally.
D.Use AWS Backup to back up the database to S3 and restore to an EC2 instance.
AnswerA

Snowball Edge handles large data offline; DMS can do CDC after initial load.

Why this answer

Given the large data size and limited bandwidth, using AWS Snowball Edge for initial load reduces network dependency. AWS DMS with CDC requires a stable connection but initial load over 1 Gbps would take >22 hours. Backup/restore over network also suffers from bandwidth.

SAP HANA System Replication requires high bandwidth and low latency.

MCQmedium

Refer to the exhibit. A migration engineer is setting up an IAM policy for an AWS DMS task that will replicate data from an on-premises SAP ASE database to Amazon RDS for SAP ASE. The engineer wants to ensure the DMS task can be created and started. What is missing from this policy?

A.Permissions to create DMS endpoints (dms:CreateEndpoint)
B.Permissions to describe DMS replication instances
C.Permissions to start and stop replication tasks
D.Permissions to use AWS Key Management Service (KMS) for encryption
AnswerA

Endpoints are required for replication tasks.

Why this answer

Option A is correct because DMS needs 'dms:CreateEndpoint' to create source/target endpoints. Option B is incorrect because the policy already allows DescribeReplicationTasks. Option C is incorrect because KMS is not used here.

Option D is incorrect because the policy allows StartReplicationTask, but without endpoints, it won't work.

A company is migrating a web application to AWS and wants to improve security. The application uses a classic three-tier architecture. Which TWO security measures should the company implement?

Select 2 answers
A.Allow direct internet access to the database tier
B.Use Amazon S3 Transfer Acceleration
C.Place all tiers in public subnets
D.Use AWS WAF to protect the web tier
E.Use security groups to control traffic between tiers
AnswersD, E

WAF protects against web exploits.

Why this answer

Using security groups as a virtual firewall and AWS WAF to protect against common web exploits are both security best practices. Option A (Direct internet access for database tier) is insecure. Option B (S3 Transfer Acceleration) is for speed, not security.

Option E (Public subnets for all tiers) is insecure.

MCQeasy

A company is migrating an on-premises SAP HANA database to AWS. The database is 2 TB in size, and the network link has a bandwidth of 1 Gbps with an average utilization of 40% during the migration window. They need to minimize the migration time. Which approach should they use?

A.Use AWS Snowball Edge to transfer the data physically.
B.Request a temporary bandwidth increase from the ISP.
C.Use AWS Database Migration Service (DMS) with ongoing replication to minimize downtime.
D.Use Amazon S3 Transfer Acceleration to speed up the transfer.
AnswerA

Snowball avoids network bottleneck for large data.

Why this answer

AWS Snowball Edge is the most efficient for large data transfers over limited bandwidth; it avoids network bottlenecks. Option A is wrong because AWS DMS with ongoing replication is better for minimal downtime but initial load is slow over constrained network. Option B is wrong because increasing bandwidth is not feasible.

Option D is wrong because S3 Transfer Acceleration only speeds up uploads to S3, not to SAP HANA directly.

Which THREE factors should be considered when choosing an instance type for an SAP HANA database on AWS? (Select THREE.)

Select 3 answers
A.Memory size of the instance
B.The instance type must be certified for SAP HANA
C.Number of EBS volumes that can be attached
D.GPU capabilities of the instance
E.Network throughput of the instance
AnswersA, B, E

HANA is memory-intensive; the instance must have enough RAM.

Why this answer

Options A, B, and D are correct. SAP HANA requires certified instance types (A), memory must be sufficient for the data (B), and network performance is critical for throughput (D). Option C is wrong because GPU is not required for HANA.

Option E is wrong because EBS-optimized instances are already required for HANA, but the instance type itself determines that; it's not a separate consideration.

MCQhard

A company is migrating their SAP S/4HANA system to AWS. They plan to use SAP HANA Cockpit for migration. During the pre-migration assessment, they find that the on-premises HANA system uses a mix of row and column store tables. The target AWS HANA instance is provisioned on a memory-optimized instance. They want to ensure optimal performance post-migration. Which additional step should they take?

A.Reduce the memory allocation of the HANA instance
B.Disable data compression on the target HANA instance
C.Convert row store tables to column store tables where possible
D.Increase the number of HANA index servers
AnswerC

Column store is optimized for SAP HANA performance.

Why this answer

Option C is correct because migrating to a column store improves performance for analytical workloads, which is typical for S/4HANA. Option A is wrong because disabling compression would increase storage and memory usage. Option B is wrong because reducing memory allocation could degrade performance.

Option D is wrong because increasing parallelism may not help if the storage layout is suboptimal.

Which THREE actions should be taken to ensure minimal downtime during an SAP system migration to AWS using SAP HSR (HANA System Replication)?

Select 3 answers
A.Disable backups on the source system to reduce load.
B.Perform a takeover to the target system to finalize migration.
C.Pre-provision the target SAP HANA instance on AWS.
D.Manually copy data files to AWS before starting replication.
E.Configure HANA System Replication between source and target.
AnswersB, C, E

Takeover switches production to the target with minimal downtime.

Why this answer

To minimize downtime, you need to replicate data in advance, configure a takeover, and pre-create resources. Option A ensures the target is ready. Option B is the core replication mechanism.

Option C allows quick cutover. Option D is wrong because disabling backup does not reduce downtime and risks data loss. Option E is wrong because manual sync is not needed with HSR.

MCQmedium

A company is migrating an SAP S/4HANA system to AWS. The migration strategy involves using SAP HANA System Replication (HSR) to replicate the source HANA database to an EC2 instance running HANA. During the final cutover, the replication link breaks and the target database becomes inconsistent. What should the migration team do to recover?

A.Restart HSR with a delta snapshot from the source
B.Perform a full HSR initial snapshot from the source to the target
C.Restore the target database from an AWS Backup
D.Use AWS DMS to replicate remaining changes
AnswerB

Full snapshot ensures consistency and can be used to reinitialize replication.

Why this answer

Option A is incorrect because using HSR to reinitialize from the source will overwrite the target. Option B is incorrect because from backup may cause data loss and time. Option C is incorrect because AWS DMS does not support HANA-to-HANA replication fully.

Option D is correct because a full HSR initial snapshot from the source will bring the target to a consistent state.

A company is migrating an SAP system to AWS using the SAP DMO (Database Migration Option) with system move. Which TWO prerequisites must be met before starting the migration?

Select 2 answers
A.A separate AWS account must be used for the target system.
B.The target EC2 instances and storage must be prepared in advance.
C.The source system must be running a supported SAP NetWeaver release.
D.The source database must be stopped during the entire migration.
E.A VPN or Direct Connect connection must be established.
AnswersB, C

Needed to import the system.

Why this answer

SAP DMO requires that the source system is on a supported SAP NetWeaver release and that the target AWS infrastructure (EC2, storage) is prepared. The source database does not need to be stopped; DMO can run online. A separate AWS account is not a prerequisite.

A direct network connection is recommended but not strictly required.

MCQmedium

An organization is migrating a large data lake (500 TB) from on-premises HDFS to Amazon S3. The migration must be completed within 3 weeks. The network bandwidth between on-premises and AWS is 1 Gbps. What is the MOST efficient migration approach?

A.Use AWS DataSync over the existing internet connection.
B.Order a dedicated AWS Direct Connect circuit at 10 Gbps and use AWS DataSync.
C.Use Amazon S3 Transfer Acceleration to speed up the transfer over the internet.
D.Use multiple AWS Snowball Edge devices to transfer the data in parallel.
AnswerD

Snowball Edge provides high-capacity offline storage and multiple devices can be used concurrently, meeting the deadline.

Why this answer

Given the 500 TB data volume and a 3-week deadline, the 1 Gbps network bandwidth yields a theoretical maximum transfer of only ~340 TB in 3 weeks (1 Gbps * 21 days * 86400 seconds / 8 bits per byte), which is insufficient. AWS Snowball Edge devices provide a petabyte-scale, offline data transfer solution that bypasses network constraints entirely, allowing parallel transfers to meet the timeline. This is the most efficient approach because it avoids network bottlenecks and leverages physical shipping for massive datasets.

Exam trap

The trap here is that candidates underestimate the time required for network-based transfers over limited bandwidth and overestimate the effectiveness of acceleration technologies like S3 Transfer Acceleration or Direct Connect, failing to recognize that physical shipping is the only viable option for hundreds of terabytes within a strict deadline.

How to eliminate wrong answers

Option A is wrong because AWS DataSync over a 1 Gbps internet connection would take approximately 46 days to transfer 500 TB (accounting for overhead and realistic throughput), far exceeding the 3-week deadline. Option B is wrong because even with a dedicated 10 Gbps Direct Connect circuit, the transfer would still take ~4.6 days under ideal conditions, but provisioning and configuring a 10 Gbps circuit typically takes weeks, making it impractical for the 3-week window. Option C is wrong because S3 Transfer Acceleration only optimizes network path routing and does not increase bandwidth; it cannot overcome the fundamental limitation of a 1 Gbps link, which would still require over 46 days for 500 TB.

A company is migrating their SAP Business Suite on SAP HANA to AWS. They need to transfer the data securely and efficiently. The source environment is in a different country with limited network bandwidth. The total data size is 100 TB. What is the most efficient migration approach?

A.Establish an AWS Direct Connect connection and use AWS DMS for full load and replication
B.Use AWS Snowball Edge for the initial data load, then AWS DMS for ongoing replication
C.Use a VPN connection and AWS DMS for both full load and continuous replication
D.Use AWS DataSync over the internet to transfer data and then switch to DMS
AnswerB

Snowball handles the large initial load offline; DMS handles incremental changes.

Why this answer

For large data volumes with limited bandwidth, using AWS Snowball devices for offline transfer is most efficient. After the initial load, AWS DMS can replicate ongoing changes. Option A is correct.

Option B (AWS Direct Connect) would require high bandwidth and time. Option C (VPN + DMS) is slow for initial load. Option D (AWS DataSync) is also network-based.

B.The AMI ID is not specified correctly
C.The instance type m5.large is too small for SAP
D.No security group is defined, exposing the instances to the internet
AnswerA

HA requires instances in different AZs.

Why this answer

Option A is correct because for high availability, ASCS and ERS should be in different Availability Zones to avoid a single point of failure. Option B is wrong because the instance type is acceptable for a test environment. Option C is wrong because the AMI is not specified, but that is not the main issue.

Option D is wrong because there is no security group defined, but that is a security issue, not an architectural HA issue.

A company is migrating a critical SAP HANA database to AWS. They have a limited migration window and need to ensure data consistency. Which migration approach should they use?

A.Use AWS Backup to restore the latest backup of the HANA database to an EC2 instance.
B.Use SAP HANA System Replication to replicate data to a target HANA system on AWS.
C.Perform a heterogeneous migration using AWS SCT and AWS DMS.
D.Use AWS DMS with ongoing replication from the source HANA database to an Amazon RDS for HANA instance.
AnswerB

SAP HANA System Replication provides near-zero downtime and data consistency.

Why this answer

SAP HANA System Replication with HLI or EC2 allows near-zero downtime and data consistency. Heterogeneous migration with DMS and SCT is for different database engines. Backup and restore may have longer downtime.

SAP Landscape Transformation is for system consolidation, not direct HANA migration.

A company is migrating a web application to AWS and wants to use a blue/green deployment strategy to minimize downtime. Which AWS service should be used to route traffic between the blue and green environments?

A.Amazon CloudFront
B.AWS Global Accelerator
C.Application Load Balancer (ALB)
D.Amazon Route 53
AnswerD

Route 53 supports weighted routing policy to shift traffic between blue and green environments.

Why this answer

Amazon Route 53 is correct because it supports weighted DNS routing, which allows you to shift traffic gradually between blue and green environments by adjusting the weight values for DNS records. This enables a blue/green deployment strategy with minimal downtime, as Route 53 can route a percentage of traffic to the new environment while keeping the old environment active for rollback.

Exam trap

The trap here is that candidates often confuse load balancers (ALB) with traffic routing services, assuming an ALB can directly manage blue/green environments, but ALB requires Route 53 or similar DNS-level routing to split traffic between separate environments.

How to eliminate wrong answers

Option A is wrong because Amazon CloudFront is a content delivery network (CDN) that caches content at edge locations; it does not provide the granular traffic shifting or weighted routing needed for blue/green deployments. Option B is wrong because AWS Global Accelerator improves performance by routing traffic over the AWS global network using anycast IPs, but it lacks the DNS-level weight-based traffic splitting required for blue/green deployments. Option C is wrong because an Application Load Balancer (ALB) distributes traffic to targets within a single environment; it cannot independently route traffic between two separate environments (blue and green) without additional infrastructure like multiple target groups and Route 53.

AnswerB

License Manager supports BYOL for SAP and other software.

Why this answer

AWS License Manager helps manage licenses, including bring-your-own-license (BYOL) for SAP. Option B is wrong because AWS Systems Manager is for management, not licensing. Option C is wrong because AWS Organizations is for multi-account governance.

A company is migrating an SAP BusinessObjects environment to AWS. They need to ensure that the business intelligence reports continue to run without interruption. Which migration strategy should they use?

A.Use a phased migration, moving reports gradually using AWS DataSync
B.Rehost using AWS Server Migration Service (SMS) in a single wave
C.Replatform to Amazon QuickSight
D.Lift-and-shift all servers at once during a maintenance window
AnswerA

Phased approach minimizes disruption; DataSync can transfer data incrementally.

Why this answer

Option A is correct because a phased migration using AWS DataSync allows the company to gradually move SAP BusinessObjects reports while maintaining continuous operations. DataSync efficiently transfers large volumes of data over the network with built-in validation and incremental sync capabilities, ensuring that the BI environment remains available during the migration. This approach minimizes disruption by avoiding a full cutover and allows for testing and rollback if needed.

Exam trap

The trap here is that candidates often confuse 'phased migration' with 'lift-and-shift' or 'replatforming,' assuming that any migration to AWS must involve a single cutover or a full re-architecture, when in fact a gradual data sync approach like DataSync can maintain business continuity.

How to eliminate wrong answers

Option B is wrong because AWS Server Migration Service (SMS) is designed for rehosting entire server images as a single wave, which would require a full cutover and cause downtime, not suitable for uninterrupted report execution. Option C is wrong because replatforming to Amazon QuickSight is a re-architecture strategy that would require significant changes to the SAP BusinessObjects environment, including rewriting reports and data connections, which contradicts the requirement for uninterrupted operation. Option D is wrong because a lift-and-shift of all servers at once during a maintenance window would cause a complete outage, failing to ensure that reports continue to run without interruption.

A company is migrating an SAP NetWeaver system to AWS. The migration involves moving the application layer to EC2 instances and the database to Amazon RDS for SAP. The company wants to minimize downtime and has a limited time window. Which migration approach should the company use?

A.Use AWS Application Migration Service (MGN) to replicate the entire server
B.Use SAP System Provisioning (SWPM) to export and import the system
C.Use AWS Database Migration Service (DMS) for the database and AWS Application Migration Service (MGN) for the application servers
D.Use SAP Software Update Manager (SUM) with Database Migration Option (DMO)
AnswerD

SUM with DMO provides a unified migration process for SAP systems.

Why this answer

For minimal downtime, a heterogeneous migration using SAP Software Update Manager (SUM) with DMO (Database Migration Option) is recommended. SUM can handle both the application and database migration in a single process. Option A (AWS DMS) does not support SAP application migration.

Option B (SAP SUM with DMO) is correct. Option C (SAP SWPM) is for installation, not migration. Option D (AWS MGN) is for server migration, not SAP-specific.

A company is migrating a critical application to AWS using a lift-and-shift strategy. The application has a legacy licensing model tied to specific hardware IDs. The company has already migrated the application to an Amazon EC2 instance but the license validation fails because the hardware ID changed. What is the MOST cost-effective and least disruptive solution?

A.Revert the migration and keep the application on-premises with a VPN connection to AWS for other services.
B.Provision a Dedicated Host and associate the instance with it to control hardware IDs.
C.Modify the application's license file to accept the new hardware ID.
D.Use AWS License Manager to create a hardware-based license token that matches the original hardware ID.
AnswerD

License Manager can generate a token that emulates the original hardware ID, allowing the license to work.

Why this answer

Option D is correct because AWS License Manager can create a hardware-based license token that binds the license to a specific hardware ID, allowing the application to validate against the original hardware ID even after migration to EC2. This is the most cost-effective and least disruptive solution as it avoids modifying the application code or reverting the migration, and it leverages AWS-native licensing management without requiring dedicated hardware.

Exam trap

The trap here is that candidates may confuse Dedicated Hosts (Option B) with a solution for hardware ID binding, but Dedicated Hosts do not allow you to control or spoof the hardware ID; they only provide physical isolation, which is irrelevant for license validation tied to a specific hardware ID.

How to eliminate wrong answers

Option A is wrong because reverting the migration defeats the purpose of the lift-and-shift strategy and introduces significant operational overhead and latency for other services. Option B is wrong because provisioning a Dedicated Host is more expensive than necessary and does not directly solve the hardware ID mismatch; Dedicated Hosts provide physical isolation but do not allow you to spoof or control the hardware ID that the application sees. Option C is wrong because modifying the application's license file to accept the new hardware ID may violate the licensing agreement and is not a supported or scalable solution; it also requires manual intervention and potential legal issues.

A company is migrating a critical SAP ERP system to AWS. The migration plan includes using SAP HANA as the database. The system is used by thousands of users and requires high availability with a Recovery Point Objective (RPO) of 15 minutes and Recovery Time Objective (RTO) of 1 hour. Which architecture should they implement on AWS?

A.Use SAP HANA system replication with an active standby instance in another Availability Zone
B.Deploy a single EC2 instance with SAP HANA and take nightly snapshots
C.Use AWS Database Migration Service (DMS) for continuous replication
D.Use Amazon RDS for SAP HANA with Multi-AZ deployment

System replication provides automatic failover and low RPO.

Why this answer

SAP HANA system replication in an active standby setup across Availability Zones provides automatic failover and meets the RPO and RTO requirements. Option B is correct. Option A (single instance) has no HA.

Option C (Multi-AZ RDS) is not applicable for SAP HANA (RDS does not support HANA). Option D (DMS) is for migration, not HA.

A company is migrating an SAP system to AWS and wants to use AWS Backup to back up the SAP HANA database. What is a prerequisite for using AWS Backup with SAP HANA?

A.Configure AWS Storage Gateway to store backups
B.Use AWS CloudEndure for backup
C.Set up AWS Database Migration Service (DMS) for continuous backup
D.Install the AWS Backup agent for SAP HANA on the database instance
AnswerD

Agent is required for HANA backup integration.

Why this answer

AWS Backup for SAP HANA requires the AWS Backup agent to be installed on the SAP HANA database instance. This agent is a software component that integrates with SAP HANA's native backup capabilities, enabling AWS Backup to orchestrate and manage full, incremental, and differential backups of the HANA database. Without the agent, AWS Backup cannot communicate with the SAP HANA system to initiate or manage backups.

Exam trap

The trap here is that candidates may confuse AWS Backup's agent-based approach with other AWS services like Storage Gateway or DMS, assuming that backup of SAP HANA requires a separate storage or replication service rather than a dedicated agent that integrates with HANA's native backup interface.

How to eliminate wrong answers

Option A is wrong because AWS Storage Gateway is used for hybrid cloud storage (e.g., file, volume, or tape gateways) and is not a prerequisite for AWS Backup with SAP HANA; AWS Backup stores backups directly in Amazon S3 or AWS Backup vaults, not via Storage Gateway. Option B is wrong because AWS CloudEndure (now AWS Application Migration Service) is designed for lift-and-shift migration of entire servers, not for database backup integration with AWS Backup. Option C is wrong because AWS Database Migration Service (DMS) is used for continuous data replication and migration between databases, not for backup orchestration; AWS Backup does not rely on DMS for SAP HANA backups.

A company wants to migrate its on-premises VMware virtual machines to AWS. They need to retain the current operating system and applications. Which AWS service should they use?

A.AWS Server Migration Service (SMS)
B.AWS Application Migration Service (MGN)
C.AWS Database Migration Service (DMS)
D.AWS DataSync
AnswerA

SMS replicates VMware VMs to AWS.

Why this answer

AWS Server Migration Service (SMS) is the correct choice because it is specifically designed to migrate on-premises VMware virtual machines to AWS while preserving the operating system, applications, and system configurations. It uses agentless replication via the VMware vCenter connector to create Amazon Machine Images (AMIs) from the source VMs, enabling a lift-and-shift migration without reinstallation or reconfiguration.

Exam trap

The trap here is that candidates often confuse AWS Application Migration Service (MGN) with SMS, but MGN requires an agent and is not VMware-specific, whereas SMS is the agentless, VMware-native service that directly integrates with vCenter for VM discovery and replication.

How to eliminate wrong answers

Option B is wrong because AWS Application Migration Service (MGN) is a newer service that also performs lift-and-shift migrations, but it requires an agent to be installed on each source server and is not VMware-specific; SMS is the legacy service explicitly built for VMware environments, and the question's context (VMware VMs) points to SMS as the intended answer. Option C is wrong because AWS Database Migration Service (DMS) is designed for migrating databases (e.g., Oracle, SQL Server, MySQL) to AWS database services, not for migrating entire virtual machines with their operating systems and applications. Option D is wrong because AWS DataSync is a data transfer service for moving large volumes of file data (e.g., NFS, SMB shares) to Amazon S3, EFS, or FSx, and it does not migrate virtual machines or preserve OS and application state.

A company is migrating a 50 TB Oracle database to Amazon RDS for Oracle using AWS DMS. The source database is running on-premises and the network link has a bandwidth of 100 Mbps. The migration must complete within 5 days. What is the MOST effective approach to meet the deadline?

A.Provision a Direct Connect connection to increase bandwidth
B.Use AWS Snowball to transfer the data offline, then use DMS for CDC
C.Use AWS DMS with full load and change data capture (CDC) online
D.Use AWS Schema Conversion Tool (SCT) to convert schema, then DMS for data
AnswerB

Snowball transfers data physically, meeting the 5-day window; DMS handles ongoing changes.

Why this answer

The 50 TB database over a 100 Mbps link would take approximately 48 days for a full load (50 TB * 8 / 100 Mbps / 86400 seconds/day), far exceeding the 5-day deadline. AWS Snowball allows offline transfer of the full database snapshot, bypassing network bandwidth constraints, after which AWS DMS can be used for ongoing change data capture (CDC) to replicate incremental changes. This hybrid approach meets the deadline while ensuring minimal data loss.

Exam trap

The trap here is that candidates assume Direct Connect or DMS online can handle large migrations over slow links, but they fail to calculate the raw transfer time; the question explicitly tests the ability to recognize when offline transfer (Snowball) is the only viable option for multi-terabyte datasets under tight deadlines.

How to eliminate wrong answers

Option A is wrong because provisioning a Direct Connect connection does not inherently increase bandwidth beyond the 100 Mbps link; it only provides a dedicated connection, and even at 10 Gbps, the full load would still take ~11 hours for 50 TB, but the question states the network link is 100 Mbps, implying the bottleneck is the on-premises network capacity, not the connection type. Option C is wrong because using AWS DMS with full load and CDC online over a 100 Mbps link would take ~48 days for the full load alone, far exceeding the 5-day deadline, and CDC cannot start until the full load completes. Option D is wrong because the AWS Schema Conversion Tool (SCT) is used for heterogeneous migrations (e.g., Oracle to PostgreSQL) and does not address the bandwidth limitation; the source and target are both Oracle, so schema conversion is unnecessary, and the data transfer bottleneck remains.

The above IAM policy is attached to an IAM role used by an AWS DMS replication instance. The DMS task is migrating data from an on-premises Oracle database to Amazon S3. The DMS task fails with an access error. What is missing from the policy?

A.Permissions to describe EC2 instances are missing
B.Permissions to access Amazon RDS are missing
C.Permissions to pass the IAM role to the DMS replication instance are missing
D.Permissions to write to the S3 bucket are missing
AnswerC

DMS needs iam:PassRole to allow the replication instance to assume the role.

Why this answer

Option B is correct because DMS needs permissions to read from the source endpoint (Oracle database) but the policy only includes S3 and EC2 permissions. The source endpoint is on-premises, so DMS requires network connectivity, but the error is access error, indicating missing IAM permissions for DMS itself. Actually, DMS requires permissions to create network interfaces and describe endpoints.

The most common missing permission is 'dms:CreateEndpoint' and 'dms:DescribeEndpoints'. However, since the task is already created, the issue might be that DMS needs to pass the IAM role to the replication instance. The policy missing 'iam:PassRole' is a common cause.

Option A is wrong because S3 permissions are present. Option C is wrong because EC2 permissions are present. Option D is wrong because DMS does not need RDS permissions.

A company is migrating an on-premises SAP HANA database to AWS. The database is 2 TB in size. The migration window is limited to 3 days. Which AWS service should be used to perform the initial data transfer?

A.AWS Snowball Edge
B.AWS Database Migration Service (DMS)
C.AWS DataSync
D.AWS Direct Connect
AnswerA

Snowball Edge can physically transport 2 TB of data quickly, bypassing network constraints.

Why this answer

AWS Snowball Edge is designed for large data transfers when network bandwidth is limited. The 2 TB database can be physically shipped and loaded onto AWS. AWS Direct Connect is for ongoing connectivity, not bulk transfer.

AWS DataSync is for smaller datasets over the network. AWS DMS is for ongoing replication and requires network bandwidth.

A company is migrating an SAP ERP system running on an on-premises IBM AIX server to AWS. The server hosts both the SAP application and the DB2 database. The company has a tight deadline and wants to minimize the migration effort. The current system uses a storage area network (SAN) with 2 TB of data. The company wants to use AWS native services and avoid re-architecting. What is the BEST migration strategy?

A.Use AWS Application Migration Service (MGN) to replicate the entire server to AWS.
B.Manually install SAP and DB2 on EC2 and restore from backup.
C.Use AWS Snowball Edge to transfer the data offline and then launch EC2 instances.
D.Use AWS DMS to migrate the DB2 database to Amazon RDS for DB2.
AnswerA

MGN supports AIX and replicates the entire server.

Why this answer

AWS MGN supports migration of IBM AIX servers with block-level replication. Option B is wrong because AWS DMS does not support DB2 on AIX as a source. Option C is wrong because AWS Snowball would require downtime and is not real-time.

Option D is wrong because manual installation is more effort and not leveraging AWS services.

A company is migrating its SAP environment to AWS and needs to ensure that the SAP license compliance is maintained. What should the company do to verify that the EC2 instances used for SAP are properly licensed?

A.Use AWS License Manager to enforce license limits
B.Use only bring-your-own-license (BYOL) instances
C.Use AWS Config rules to check instance types
D.Use EC2 instance types listed in the SAP Certified and Supported SAP HANA Hardware Directory
AnswerD

The SAP HANA Hardware Directory lists certified instances.

Why this answer

AWS provides a list of EC2 instance types that are certified for SAP. The company should use these certified types and ensure they have the appropriate SAP licenses. Option B is correct.

Option A (BYOL) is possible but not verification. Option C (AWS License Manager) tracks licenses but doesn't verify SAP compatibility. Option D (AWS Config) can track configuration but not licensing.

A company is migrating its SAP landscape to AWS and plans to use SAP S/4HANA. The migration includes a heterogeneous system conversion from an existing SAP ECC system. Which AWS service or tool supports the generation of the migration cockpit and migration object modeler content required for the conversion?

A.AWS Database Migration Service (DMS)
B.AWS Application Migration Service (MGN)
C.AWS Migration Hub
D.SAP S/4HANA Migration Cockpit (not an AWS service)
AnswerD

The Migration Cockpit is the SAP tool that generates migration content; AWS does not provide this.

Why this answer

SAP S/4HANA migration uses the SAP S/4HANA Migration Cockpit, which relies on migration object modeler content. This content is generated by the SAP S/4HANA Migration Cockpit itself, not by an AWS service. AWS does not provide a service that generates SAP migration content.

Option A (AWS Migration Hub) tracks migrations. Option B (AWS Application Migration Service) is for server migration. Option C (AWS Database Migration Service) migrates databases.

Option D (SAP S/4HANA Migration Cockpit) is the correct tool for generating the migration cockpit content.

A manufacturing company is migrating its SAP ECC system to AWS. The system includes an SAP HANA database (1 TB) and an SAP NetWeaver application server. They plan to use AWS Database Migration Service (DMS) for the database and AWS Application Migration Service (MGN) for the application server. The network connection is AWS Direct Connect with 1 Gbps bandwidth. During a test migration, the DMS task for the database fails with a connection error. The source database is on an on-premises server that is behind a firewall. The administrator has already opened the necessary ports in the firewall. The DMS replication instance is in a VPC with a public subnet. Which step should the administrator take to resolve the connection issue?

A.Modify the DMS source endpoint to use a different port.
B.Create a private subnet for the DMS replication instance and attach a NAT gateway to allow outbound traffic to the on-premises database.
C.Configure the source database to allow connections from the DMS replication instance IP.
D.Open additional ports in the on-premises firewall.
AnswerB

Private subnet with NAT gateway enables connectivity to on-premises.

Why this answer

DMS replication instance needs network connectivity to the source database. If the source is behind a firewall, the DMS instance may need to be in a private subnet with a NAT gateway or VPC peering. Option A is correct because creating a private subnet and enabling NAT gateway allows outbound connectivity.

Option B is wrong because DMS endpoint is for configuring source/target, not for network connectivity. Option C is wrong because the firewall is already open. Option D is wrong because modifying the source database configuration is not needed.

Which THREE AWS services are typically used in the migration of an SAP environment to AWS? (Choose 3.)

Select 3 answers
A.AWS Database Migration Service (DMS)
B.AWS CloudTrail
C.AWS Direct Connect
D.AWS Server Migration Service (SMS)
E.AWS Schema Conversion Tool (SCT)
AnswersA, D, E

DMS is used for database migration.

Why this answer

AWS Database Migration Service (DMS) is correct because it enables the migration of SAP HANA, SAP ASE, or other SAP-supported databases to AWS with minimal downtime. DMS supports homogeneous migrations (e.g., SAP HANA to SAP HANA on Amazon RDS or EC2) and heterogeneous migrations (e.g., SAP ASE to SAP HANA) when paired with the Schema Conversion Tool (SCT). It handles ongoing replication via Change Data Capture (CDC), which is critical for SAP systems that cannot tolerate extended outages.

Exam trap

The trap here is that candidates confuse supporting services (like Direct Connect for network or CloudTrail for auditing) with actual migration services, leading them to select options that are not part of the core migration toolset for SAP workloads.

A.AWS Database Migration Service (DMS) with AWS Schema Conversion Tool (SCT)
B.AWS Server Migration Service
C.AWS Data Pipeline
D.SAP HANA Studio
AnswerA

DMS with SCT can convert schema and data from Oracle to HANA.

Why this answer

AWS DMS supports heterogeneous migrations with schema conversion using the AWS Schema Conversion Tool (SCT). Option A (SAP HANA Studio) is an SAP tool, not AWS. Option C (Server Migration Service) is for servers.

Option D (Data Pipeline) is for data processing.

Refer to the exhibit. An administrator is creating an IAM policy for a user who will perform database migrations using AWS DMS. The migration fails with an error 'Insufficient permissions to create DMS endpoint'. Which missing action should be added to the policy?

A.dms:CreateEndpoint
B.dms:ModifyEndpoint
C.dms:TestConnection
D.dms:CreateReplicationInstance
AnswerA

Without CreateEndpoint, DMS cannot create endpoints.

Why this answer

The policy allows creating replication tasks but not endpoints. To create endpoints, the action 'dms:CreateEndpoint' is required. Option B is wrong because 'dms:CreateReplicationInstance' is for replication instances.

Option C is wrong because 'dms:TestConnection' is for testing connections. Option D is wrong because 'dms:ModifyEndpoint' is for modifying existing endpoints.

A company is migrating a critical SAP system to AWS using the SAP Landscape Virtualization Management (LVM) and AWS Launch Wizard. What is the primary benefit of using AWS Launch Wizard for SAP deployment?

A.It automates the deployment of SAP systems based on AWS best practices
B.It provides a fully automated migration from on-premises to AWS
C.It manages the backup and disaster recovery of the SAP system
D.It automatically optimizes the deployment for cost
AnswerA

Launch Wizard automates deployment using best practices.

Why this answer

Option B is correct because AWS Launch Wizard automates the deployment of SAP systems by providing guided best-practice recommendations. Option A is wrong because Launch Wizard does not provide cost optimization; it provides cost estimates. Option C is wrong because Launch Wizard does not handle migration; it handles deployment.

Option D is wrong because Launch Wizard does not manage backups; it can integrate with AWS Backup but does not manage recovery.
