PAS-C01 Migration Practice Question
Which THREE factors should be considered when choosing an instance type for an SAP HANA database on AWS? (Select THREE.)
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 size of the instance
Options A, B, and E are correct. Memory size (A) is critical because SAP HANA is an in-memory database. The instance must be certified for SAP HANA (B) to ensure compatibility and support. Network throughput (E) is important for data replication and client access. Option C is incorrect because the number of attachable EBS volumes is not a primary selection criterion for SAP HANA. Option D is incorrect because GPU capabilities are not required for SAP HANA.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Memory size of the instance
Why this is correct
HANA is memory-intensive; the instance must have enough RAM.
- ✓
The instance type must be certified for SAP HANA
Why this is correct
Only certified instance types are supported for production HANA.
- ✗
Number of EBS volumes that can be attached
Why it's wrong here
While EBS is used, the instance type's EBS bandwidth is more relevant than volume count.
- ✗
GPU capabilities of the instance
Why it's wrong here
HANA does not use GPU for its core functionality.
- ✓
Network throughput of the instance
Why this is correct
High network throughput is needed for client communication and replication.
