AWS Certified SAP on AWS – Specialty (PAS-C01) — Question 49

An SAP solutions architect is using AWS Systems Manager Distributor to install the AWS Data Provider for SAP on production SAP application servers and SAP HANA database servers. The SAP application servers and the SAP HANA database servers are running on Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
The SAP solutions architect chooses instances manually in Systems Manager Distributor and schedules installation. The installation fails with an access and authorization error related to Amazon CloudWatch and Amazon EC2 instances. There is no error related to AWS connectivity.
What should the SAP solutions architect do to resolve the error?

Answer options

• A. Install the CloudWatch agent on the servers before installing the AWS Data Provider for SAP.
• B. Download the AWS Data Provider for SAP installation package from AWS Marketplace. Use an operating system super user to install the agent manually or through a script.
• C. Create an IAM role. Attach the appropriate policy to the role. Attach the role to the appropriate EC2 instances.
• D. Wait until Systems Manager Agent is fully installed and ready to use on the EC2 instances. Use Systems Manager Patch Manager to perform the installation.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because creating an IAM role with the appropriate permissions and attaching it to the EC2 instances addresses the access and authorization error. Options A and B do not resolve the permissions issue, and option D could delay the installation without addressing the underlying authorization problem.
