AWS Certified SAP on AWS – Specialty (PAS-C01) — Question 37

A company is using SAP NetWeaver with Java on AWS. The company has updated its generation of Amazon EC2 instances to the most recent generation of EC2 instances. When the company tries to start SAP, the startup fails. The log indicates that the SAP license expired or is not valid.
What is the reason for this issue?

Answer options

• A. The instance ID changed as part of the EC2 generation change.
• B. The instance’s hypervisor changed from Xen to Nitro.
• C. The SAP Java Virtual Machine (SAP JVM) is not compatible with the new instance type.
• D. An EC2 generation change is not supported for SAP Java-based systems.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because the transition from the Xen hypervisor to the Nitro hypervisor can lead to compatibility issues with certain applications, including SAP. The other options do not accurately address the specific impact of hypervisor changes on SAP licensing and startup processes.
