PAS-C01 Design of SAP Workloads on AWS Practice Question
Which AWS service is used to automate the installation and configuration of SAP applications on AWS according to best practices?
⚠ Common exam trap
A common mix-up: candidates confuse AWS Launch Wizard for SAP with AWS CloudFormation or Quick Starts, assuming any automation tool can handle SAP installation, but only Launch Wizard integrates the SAP-specific software installation and best-practice validation directly into the provisioning workflow.
