PAS-C01 Migration Practice Question
Which TWO factors are most important to consider when planning the network connectivity for an SAP migration to AWS using AWS Direct Connect?
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
✓
Latency and bandwidth requirements.
The two most important factors for planning Direct Connect connectivity in an SAP migration are latency/bandwidth requirements (C) and BGP routing configuration with failover (D). SAP applications are highly sensitive to latency and require consistent throughput, so ensuring sufficient bandwidth and low latency is critical. BGP routing and failover mechanisms guarantee high availability and resilience by enabling automatic failover to backup connections. Option A (VPC endpoints) is not a Direct Connect factor—endpoints provide private access to AWS services but are unrelated to Direct Connect planning. Option B (security group rules) controls instance-level traffic and is not a primary Direct Connect consideration. Option E (VPC subnet IP ranges) is important for VPC design but does not directly impact the Direct Connect connection itself.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Number of VPC endpoints required.
Why it's wrong here
VPC endpoints are for private connectivity to AWS services, not Direct Connect.
- ✗
Security group rules for the SAP application.
Why it's wrong here
Security groups are network firewalls, not Direct Connect planning.
- ✓
Latency and bandwidth requirements.
Why this is correct
Direct Connect provides consistent latency and dedicated bandwidth.
- ✓
BGP routing configuration and failover.
Why this is correct
BGP is used for routing and failover over Direct Connect.
- ✗
IP address range for VPC subnets.
Why it's wrong here
Subnet IP range is important but not a Direct Connect specific factor.
