- A
Configure the instance with 10 Gbps network bandwidth
Why wrong: Bandwidth is not a certification criterion.
- B
Use an Amazon Machine Image (AMI) from the AWS Marketplace that includes SAP HANA
Why wrong: AMI is not a certification factor.
- C
Ensure that the EBS volumes are optimized for high throughput
Why wrong: EBS optimization is not a certification requirement.
- D
Confirm that the operating system is SAP certified for HANA
OS certification is required.
- E
Verify that the EC2 instance type is listed in the SAP HANA certified instance list
Certified instances are a requirement.

PAS-C01 SAP HANA Certified Instance Types Practice Question
This PAS-C01 practice question tests your understanding of migration. Match the stated requirement to the specific cloud service, access model, or configuration option — many options are valid in isolation but not for this scenario. A key principle to apply: sAP HANA Certified Instance Types. 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.
A company is migrating its SAP HANA database to AWS. They need to validate that the target AWS environment meets SAP's certification requirements. Which two steps should they take? (Choose TWO.)

Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Confirm that the operating system is SAP certified for HANA
To validate that the target AWS environment meets SAP HANA certification requirements, two key checks are necessary: (1) the EC2 instance type must be listed in the SAP HANA certified instance list (Option E), and (2) the operating system must be SAP certified for HANA (Option D). Option A (configuring 10 Gbps network bandwidth) is not a certification requirement; SAP HANA instances automatically use enhanced networking with adequate bandwidth. Option B (using an AMI from AWS Marketplace) is not required; you can install SAP HANA on any certified OS. Option C (ensuring EBS volumes are optimized for high throughput) is not a specific certification criterion; EBS optimization is automatically enabled on supported instance types.

SAP HANA Certified Instance Types
Real-world example
How this comes up in practice
A healthcare organisation deploys an application with a public-facing web tier and a private database tier. The database subnet has no public IP and only accepts connections from the web tier's security group. Questions like this test whether you can design cloud network isolation using VNets/VPCs, subnets, and security group rules.
