AWS Certified SAP on AWS – Specialty (PAS-C01) — Question 6

An SAP solutions architect is designing an SAP HANA scale-out architecture for SAP Business Warehouse (SAP BW) on SAP HANA on AWS. The SAP solutions architect identifies the design as a three-node scale-out deployment of xte.32xiarge Amazon EC2 instances.
The SAP solutions architect must ensure that the SAP HANA scale-out nodes can achieve the low-latency and high-throughput network performance that are necessary for node-to-node communication.
Which combination of steps should the SAP solutions architect take to meet these requirements? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Create a cluster placement group. Launch the instances into the cluster placement group.
• B. Create a spread placement group. Launch the instances into the spread placement group.
• C. Create a partition placement group. Launch the instances into the partition placement group.
• D. Based on the operating system version, verify that enhanced networking is enabled on all the nodes.
• E. Switch to a different instance family that provides network throughput that is greater than 25 Gbps.

Correct answer: A, D

Explanation

Creating a cluster placement group (A) is correct as it ensures low-latency and high-throughput communication between the nodes. Verifying that enhanced networking is enabled (D) is also essential for achieving optimal network performance. The other options do not provide the necessary network performance or configuration required for the scale-out architecture.
