Sample AWS SAP Specialty Practice Questions

Try these sample questions to test your AWS SAP Specialty exam readiness. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 100+ question experience with AI tutoring.

1A company is designing the AWS account structure for their SAP landscape. They want to separate production SAP workloads from non-production environments with the highest level of isolation. Which approach follows AWS best practices?
A.Use a single AWS account with separate VPCs for production and non-production
B.Use separate AWS accounts for production and non-production SAP workloads within an AWS Organization
C.Use a single VPC with subnets tagged for production and non-production
D.Use separate AWS Regions for production and non-production in the same account
Explanation: AWS best practices recommend using separate AWS accounts for production and non-production SAP workloads. Multiple accounts within an AWS Organization provide the strongest isolation boundary, separate billing, independent IAM policies, and reduced blast radius for misconfigurations or security incidents.
2An SAP Basis administrator needs to select the appropriate Amazon EC2 instance type for an SAP HANA production database. Which instance family is SAP-certified for production SAP HANA workloads?
A.T3 general purpose instances
B.M5 general purpose instances
C.X2idn memory-optimized instances
D.C5 compute-optimized instances
Explanation: The X2idn (and related X1, X1e, X2iedn, U-series) memory-optimized instance families are SAP-certified for production SAP HANA workloads. SAP certification for HANA requires specific instance types that meet SAP's performance and memory requirements as documented in SAP Note 1656099.
3A company is designing high availability for their SAP HANA database on AWS. Which approach provides automatic failover for SAP HANA System Replication in a two-node cluster across Availability Zones?
A.Amazon RDS Multi-AZ deployment
B.SAP HANA System Replication with a cluster manager like Pacemaker and overlay IP routing
C.AWS Auto Scaling with launch templates
D.Amazon ElastiCache with read replicas
Explanation: SAP HANA System Replication (HSR) with a Linux cluster manager like Pacemaker provides automatic failover across Availability Zones. The cluster uses overlay IP (virtual IP) routing with AWS route table updates to redirect application traffic to the standby node when the primary fails.
4Which AWS service automates the deployment of SAP HANA and SAP NetWeaver systems on AWS following SAP and AWS best practices?
A.AWS CloudFormation only
B.AWS Launch Wizard for SAP
C.AWS OpsWorks
D.AWS Elastic Beanstalk
Explanation: AWS Launch Wizard for SAP automates the sizing, configuration, and deployment of SAP HANA and SAP NetWeaver systems on AWS. It follows AWS and SAP best practices for infrastructure provisioning, operating system configuration, and SAP installation, reducing deployment time from weeks to hours.
5A company needs to establish dedicated, low-latency connectivity between their on-premises SAP systems and AWS for an SAP migration project. Which connectivity option provides the most consistent network performance?
A.AWS Site-to-Site VPN over the public internet
B.AWS Direct Connect with a private virtual interface
C.AWS Client VPN for individual SAP administrator access
D.Internet-based SFTP for data transfer
Explanation: AWS Direct Connect provides a dedicated private network connection between the on-premises data center and AWS with consistent bandwidth and lower latency than internet-based connections. For SAP migrations involving large data transfers and ongoing hybrid operations, Direct Connect is the recommended connectivity method.
6During an SAP HANA system copy, the database backup file is 8 TB in size and needs to be transferred from on-premises to AWS. The company has a 1 Gbps Direct Connect connection. Which approach minimizes the migration time?
A.Transfer the backup over Direct Connect only
B.Use AWS Snowball Edge to physically transport the data
C.Upload the backup to S3 using S3 Transfer Acceleration
D.Compress the backup and transfer via SFTP
Explanation: For 8 TB of data, a 1 Gbps Direct Connect connection would take approximately 18 hours at full utilization. AWS Snowball Edge can transport up to 80 TB of data and is typically faster for large datasets when factoring in shipping time. It also avoids saturating the Direct Connect connection during business hours.
7A company is planning a heterogeneous SAP migration from Oracle to SAP HANA on AWS. Which SAP tool should they use for the database migration and Unicode conversion?
A.AWS Database Migration Service (DMS)
B.SAP Software Update Manager (SUM) with Database Migration Option (DMO)
C.AWS Schema Conversion Tool (SCT)
D.SAP Transaction SE38
Explanation: SAP SUM with Database Migration Option (DMO) is the SAP-supported tool for heterogeneous system migrations to SAP HANA. DMO combines the system upgrade, database migration, and Unicode conversion into a single process. It performs the export from the source database and import into HANA simultaneously.
8An SAP team needs to back up an SAP HANA database running on an EC2 instance. Which AWS storage service is recommended for SAP HANA backup storage?
A.Amazon EBS only
B.Amazon S3 via AWS Backint Agent for SAP HANA
C.Amazon Glacier directly
D.Amazon EFS with NFS mounts
Explanation: AWS Backint Agent for SAP HANA enables direct backup from SAP HANA to Amazon S3 using the SAP-certified Backint interface. This approach provides highly durable, cost-effective backup storage with native SAP HANA Cockpit and HANA Studio integration for backup management.
9A company runs SAP S/4HANA on AWS and needs to set up disaster recovery in a different AWS Region with a Recovery Point Objective (RPO) of less than 15 minutes. Which approach is most appropriate?
A.Daily EBS snapshots copied to the DR Region
B.SAP HANA System Replication in asynchronous mode to the DR Region
C.AWS Backup with a 24-hour backup schedule
D.Cross-Region S3 replication of application binaries
Explanation: SAP HANA System Replication (HSR) in asynchronous mode replicates data changes continuously to a secondary system in a different AWS Region. Asynchronous replication provides an RPO of seconds to minutes, well within the 15-minute requirement. Synchronous replication is not supported across Regions due to latency.
10Which Amazon EC2 feature allows an SAP administrator to stop and start an SAP HANA instance while retaining the same private IP address, hostname, and EBS volumes?
A.EC2 Spot Instances with interruption handling
B.EC2 instance stop and start (for EBS-backed instances)
C.EC2 instance store-backed instances with AMI creation
D.EC2 Auto Scaling with target tracking
Explanation: EBS-backed EC2 instances retain their private IP address, attached EBS volumes, and elastic network interfaces when stopped and started. This allows SAP administrators to change instance types (vertical scaling) or stop instances during maintenance windows without losing configuration.
