AWS Certified SAP on AWS – Specialty (PAS-C01) — Question 15

A company has deployed a highly available SAP NetWeaver system on SAP HANA into a VPC. The system is distributed across multiple Availability Zones within a single AWS Region. SAP NetWeaver is running on SUSE Linux Enterprise Server for SAP. SUSE Linux Enterprise High Availability Extension is configured to protect SAP ASCS and ERS instances and uses the overlay IP address concept. The SAP shared files /sapmnt and /usr/sap/trans are hosted on an Amazon Elastic File System (Amazon EFS) file system.
The company needs a solution that uses already-existing private connectivity to the VPC. The SAP NetWeaver system must be accessible through the SAP GUI client tool.
Which solutions will meet these requirements? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Deploy an Application Load Balancer. Configure the overlay IP address as a target.
• B. Deploy a Network Load Balancer. Configure the overlay IP address as a target.
• C. Use an Amazon Route 53 private zone. Create an A record that has the overlay IP address as a target.
• D. Use AWS Transit Gateway. Configure the overlay IP address as a static route in the transit gateway route table. Specify the VPC as a target.
• E. Use a NAT gateway. Configure the overlay IP address as a target.

Correct answer: B, D

Explanation

The correct answers are B and D. A Network Load Balancer is suitable for handling TCP traffic and can efficiently use the overlay IP address, while AWS Transit Gateway can manage routing to the overlay IP address effectively. The other options do not fulfill the requirement as Application Load Balancers are not ideal for TCP traffic, Route 53 private zones do not directly provide connectivity, and NAT gateways are intended for outbound internet traffic rather than internal network access.
