Planning and Administering Microsoft Azure for SAP Workloads — Question 16

You migrate an on-premises instance of SAP HANA to HANA on Azure (Large Instances).

You project that you will replace HANA Large Instances with two smaller instances in two years.

You need to recommend a solution to minimize SAP HANA costs for the next three years.

What should you include in the recommendation?

Answer options

• A. Azure Hybrid Benefit
• B. a one-year reservation that has capacity priority
• C. a three-year reservation that has instance size flexibility
• D. a one-year reservation that has instance size flexibility

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Option B is the best choice because a one-year reservation with capacity priority ensures that you have the necessary resources at a lower cost for the duration of the reservation. Other options either do not provide the same cost benefits or flexibility required for future instance size changes, which makes them less suitable for this scenario.
