PAS-C01 Migration Practice Question
Which THREE AWS services are typically used in the migration of an SAP environment to AWS? (Choose 3.)
⚠ Common exam trap
Candidates often 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.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
AWS Database Migration Service (DMS)
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.
