AWS Certified SAP on AWS – Specialty (PAS-C01) — Question 65

A company is running SAP S/4HANA on AWS. The company has deployed its current database infrastructure on a u-12tb1.112xlarge Amazon EC2 instance that uses default tenancy and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server for SAP 15 SP1. The company must scale its SAP HANA database to an instance with more RAM. An SAP solutions architect needs to migrate the database to a u-18tb1.metal High Memory instance.

How can the SAP solutions architect meet this requirement?

Answer options

• A. Use the AWS Management Console to stop the current instance. Change the instance type to u-18tb1.metal. Start the instance.
• B. Use the AWS CLI to stop the current instance. Change the instance type to u-18tb1.metal. Start the instance.
• C. Use the AWS CLI to stop the current instance. Create an AMI from the current instance. Use the new AMI to launch a new u-18tb1.metal instance with host tenancy.
• D. Use the AWS Management Console to stop the current instance. Create an AMI from the current instance. Use the new AMI to launch a new u-18tb1.metal instance with dedicated tenancy.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because it involves creating an AMI from the current instance, which is necessary for launching a new instance of a different type. Options A and B do not account for the requirement to create an AMI, while option D incorrectly specifies dedicated tenancy instead of host tenancy.
