AWS Certified SAP on AWS – Specialty (PAS-C01) — Question 14

A company’s basis administrator is planning to deploy SAP on AWS in Linux. The basis administrator must set up the proper storage to store SAP HANA data and log volumes.
Which storage options should the basis administrator choose to meet these requirements? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) Throughput Optimized HDD (st1)
• B. Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) Provisioned OPS SSD (io1, io2)
• C. Amazon S3
• D. Amazon Elastic File System (Amazon EFS)
• E. Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) General Purpose SSD (gp2, gp3)

Correct answer: B, E

Explanation

The correct options are B and E because both types of Amazon EBS storage (Provisioned IOPS SSD and General Purpose SSD) are optimized for the performance requirements of SAP HANA, which requires low-latency and high-throughput storage. Options A, C, and D are not ideal for SAP HANA data and log volumes due to either insufficient performance specifications or not being block storage solutions.
