AWS Certified SAP on AWS – Specialty (PAS-C01) — Question 50

A company is planning to move to AWS. The company wants to set up sandbox and test environments on AWS to perform proofs of concept (POCs). Development and production environments will remain on premises until the POCs are completed.
At the company’s on-premises location, SAProuter is installed on the same server as SAP Solution Manager. The company uses SAP Solution Manager to monitor the entire landscape. The company uses SAProuter to connect to SAP Support. The on-premises SAP Solution Manager instance must monitor the performance and server metrics of the newly created POC systems on AWS. The existing SAProuter must be able to report any issues to SAP.
What should an SAP solutions architect do to set up this hybrid infrastructure MOST cost-effectively?

Answer options

• A. Install a new SAP Solution Manager instance and a new SAProuter instance in the AWS environment. Connect the POC systems to these new instances. Use these new instances in parallel with the on-premises SAP Solution Manager instance and the on-premises SAProuter instance.
• B. Install a new SAP Solution Manager instance and a new SAProuter instance in the AWS environment. Install the Amazon CloudWatch agent on all on-premises instances. Push the monitoring data to the new SAP Solution Manager instance. Connect all on-premises systems and POC systems on AWS to the new SAP Solution Manager instance and the new SAProuter instance. Remove the on-premises SAP Solution Manager instance and the on-premises SAProuter instance. Use the new instances on AWS.
• C. Use AWS Site-to-Site VPN to connect the on-premises network to the AWS environment. Connect the POC systems on AWS to the on-premises SAP Solution Manager instance and the on-premises SAProuter instance.
• D. Add the POC systems on AWS to the existing SAP Transport Management System that is configured in the on-premises SAP systems.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct choice is C because using AWS Site-to-Site VPN allows seamless connectivity between the on-premises environment and the AWS POC systems, ensuring that monitoring and reporting can continue effectively without significant additional costs. Options A and B introduce unnecessary complexity and additional resources by creating new instances, while option D does not address the monitoring requirements effectively.
