AWS Certified SAP on AWS – Specialty (PAS-C01) — Question 101

An SAP solutions architect needs to design a highly available solution to support a 12 TB SAP HANA system on AWS. The solution will be deployed in a single AWS Region.

Which solution will meet these requirements MOST cost-effectively?

Answer options

• A. Use an SAP certified high availability cluster solution and SAP HANA backup and restore.
• B. Use an SAP certified high availability cluster solution and SAP HANA system replication with data preload.
• C. Use an SAP certified high availability cluster solution and multi-tiered SAP HANA system replication.
• D. Use an SAP certified high availability cluster solution and storage replication with AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Option B is the best choice because SAP HANA system replication with data preload allows for a highly available solution that ensures minimal downtime and data loss, making it cost-effective. Option A does not provide the same level of availability since it relies solely on backup and restore processes. Options C and D, while they offer replication solutions, may involve higher costs and complexity compared to option B.
