PAS-C01 Migration Practice Question
Which TWO AWS services can be used to migrate on-premises SAP systems to AWS? (Choose 2.)
⚠ Common exam trap
Watch out — candidates often confuse AWS DMS as only a database migration tool and overlook that it can also migrate SAP databases (e.g., SAP HANA, SAP ASE) to AWS, while simultaneously thinking that AWS SCT (a schema conversion tool) is needed for SAP migrations, when in fact SCT is irrelevant for SAP systems that are not changing database engines.
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
✓
AWS Server Migration Service (SMS)
AWS Server Migration Service (SMS) is correct because it automates the replication of live on-premises servers, including SAP application servers, to AWS as Amazon Machine Images (AMIs). This allows you to migrate the entire SAP server stack (OS, SAP binaries, configurations) without needing to reinstall or reconfigure the SAP software, making it ideal for lift-and-shift migrations.
