PAS-C01 Migration Practice Question
Which TWO of the following are valid methods for migrating SAP systems to AWS? (Select TWO.)
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
✓
System Copy (SAP)
The correct answers are A and B. System Copy (SAP) is a standard SAP migration method that replicates an entire SAP system. SAP DMO with SUM is a dedicated migration tool for migrating to SAP HANA, including upgrades. Option C (AWS SMS) is a general server migration service that does not handle SAP-specific components. Option D (AWS DMS) is primarily a database migration tool and does not migrate the SAP application layer or its configurations, making it unsuitable for a complete SAP system migration. Option E (VM Import/Export) can move VM images but lacks SAP-specific migration capabilities and post-migration automation required for SAP systems.

Variation 1. Which TWO methods can be used to migrate an SAP system from on-premises to AWS while minimizing the need for re-architecture? (Choose two.)
easy- A.Replatform by moving to Amazon RDS for SAP
- ✓ B.Rehost by manually copying servers to Amazon EC2
- ✓ C.Rehost using AWS Application Migration Service (AWS MGN)
- D.Refactor the application to use microservices
- E.Use AWS Database Migration Service to move the database to Amazon Aurora
Why B: Lift-and-shift (rehost) using AWS Application Migration Service and the 7-Migration Strategies (7Rs) rehost approach minimize re-architecture. Option A is wrong because replatforming involves some changes. Option D is wrong because refactoring involves significant re-architecture. Option E is wrong because AWS DMS is for databases, not full systems.
