AWS Certified SAP on AWS – Specialty (PAS-C01) — Question 27

A company is planning to migrate its on-premises SAP applications to AWS. The applications are based on Windows operating systems. A file share stores the transport directories and third-party application data on the network-attached storage of the company’s on-premises data center. The company’s plan is to lift and shift the SAP applications and the file share to AWS. The company must follow AWS best practices for the migration.
Which AWS service should the company use to host the transport directories and third-party application data on AWS?

Answer options

Correct answer: D

Explanation

Amazon FSx for Windows File Server is specifically designed for Windows-based applications, making it the ideal choice for hosting transport directories and third-party application data in this scenario. Amazon Elastic Block Store (EBS) is better suited for block storage attached to EC2 instances, while Amazon Elastic File System (EFS) is a fully managed file system for use with AWS cloud services and on-premises resources, and AWS Storage Gateway is primarily for hybrid cloud storage solutions.
