PAS-C01 Design of SAP Workloads on AWS Practice Question
Which TWO of the following are valid considerations when designing the network for SAP workloads on AWS? (Select TWO.)
⚠ Common exam trap
A common misconception in AWS is that simplifying network design by using a single subnet or placing the database tier in a public subnet is acceptable, but in reality, SAP on AWS demands strict network segmentation and security isolation to meet both operational and compliance requirements.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Enable jumbo frames on the VPC for SAP application tier
Enabling jumbo frames (MTU 9001) on the VPC for the SAP application tier reduces CPU overhead and improves network throughput by allowing larger payloads per packet. This is particularly beneficial for SAP's high-volume data transfers between application and database servers, as it reduces the number of packets processed and lowers latency.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Enable jumbo frames on the VPC for SAP application tier
Why this is correct
Jumbo frames reduce overhead and improve throughput.
- ✗
Use a single subnet for all SAP tiers to simplify routing
Why it's wrong here
Best practice is to separate tiers into different subnets.
- ✗
Use a public subnet for the SAP database tier
Why it's wrong here
Database tier should be in private subnets.
- ✓
Deploy SAP application servers in a cluster placement group
Why this is correct
Placement groups provide low-latency network for tightly coupled components.
- ✗
Disable VPC Flow Logs to save costs
Why it's wrong here
