An SAP engineer is designing a storage configuration for an SAP S/4HANA production system on AWS. The system will run on an Amazon EC2 instance with a memory size of 2 TB. The SAP HANA sizing report recommends storage of 2,400 GB for data and 512 GB for logs. The system requires 9,000 IOPS for data storage and throughput of 300 MBps for log storage. Which Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) volume configuration will meet these requirements MOST cost-effectively?
- A. . For /hana/data, use two 900 GB Provisioned IOPS SSD (io1) EBS volumes that are configured with RID 0 striping and the required IOPS. For /hana/log, use one 512 GB General Purpose SSD (gp3) EBS volume that is configured with the required throughput.
- B. . For /hana/data, use one 2,400 G General Purpose SSD (gp3) ES volume that is configured with the required IOPS. For /hana/log, use one 512 G gp3 ES volume that is configured with the required throughput.
- C. . For /hana/data use two 1,200 GB Provisioned IOPS SSD (io2) EBS volumes that are configured with RAID 0 striping and the required IOPS. For /hana/log, use one 525 GB io2 EBS volume that is configured with the required throughput.
- D. . For /hana/data, use two 1,200 GB General Purpose SS (gp3) EBS volumes that are configured with RAI 0 striping and the required IOPS. For /hana/log, use one 512 GB gp3 EBS volume that is configured with the required throughput.
Answer: A
Explanation: Answer is A. Provisioned IOPS SSD (io1) EBS volumes are designed for I/O intensive applications such as databases and gives consistent and low-latency performance. It allows to provision up to 64000 IOPS per volume, which satisfies 9000 IOPS requirement for data storage. The General Purpose SSD (gp3) EBS volume can deliver the necessary 300 MBps for log storage at a lower cost compared to Provisioned IOPS SSD (io1) EBS volumes. Therefore Option A is the most cost-effective choice.

A company's SAP solutions architect needs to design an architecture to deploy a highly available SAP S/4HANA application on AWS. The company requires the SAP NetWeaver ASAP ASCS components and the SAP HANA database components or the application to be highly available. The company will operate the SAP NetWeaver ASCS, SAP NetWeaver PAS, and SAP HANA database components on separate Amazon EC2 instances. Each EC2 instance will run the Red Hat Enterprise Linux operating system. The company's AWS account has a VPC with a CIDR block that uses the 10.0.0.0/24 address block. The VPC contains two subnets. Each subnet is assigned to a different Availability Zone. The company has no other VPCs in this account, and the company has no other AWS accounts. Which set of overlay IP addresses can the SAP solutions architect use to provide the required highly available architecture?
- A. . Two overlay IP addresses: 10.0.0.50 for SP SCS and 10.0.0.54 for SP HN
- B. . Two overlay IP addresses: 192.168.0.50 for SAP ASCS and 192.168.0.54 for SAP HANA
- C. . Three overlay IP addresses: 10.0.0.50 for SAP ASS, 10.0.0.52 for SAP ERS, and 10.0.0.54 for SAP HANA
- D. . Three overlay IP addresses: 192.168.0.50 for SAP ASCS, 192.168.0.52 for SAP ERS, and 192.168.0.54 for SAP HANA
Answer: C
Explanation: Answer is C. The company's VPC uses a CIDR block with a 10.0.0.0/24 address block. This means that the valid range of the IP addresses that the company can use is from 10.0.0.0 to 10.0.0.255. Considering the company is operating the SAP NetWeaver ASCS, NetWeaver PAS, and SAP HANA database components separately, three overlay IP addresses should be configured. Thus, 10.0.0.50 for SAP ASS, 10.0.0.52 for SAP ERS, and 10.0.0.54 for SAP HANA would be the appropriate set of overlay IP addresses.
