Maintain SAP workloads on Azure

Question

You have an Azure subscription that contains a virtual network named VNET1, an SAP production landscape on Azure, and an SAP non-production landscape on Azure. Both landscapes connect to VNET1. Each landscape contains virtual machines that run the following:

  • SAP HANA
  • SAP NetWeaver
  • Microsoft SQL Server

You need to monitor the landscapes. The solution must minimize costs. What is the minimum number of required Azure Monitor for SAP Solutions instances?

Options

  • A1
  • B2
  • C3
  • D6

Explanation

A single Azure Monitor for SAP Solutions (AMS) instance can monitor multiple SAP landscapes, multiple component types, and both production and non-production environments simultaneously. Because both landscapes are already connected to the same VNET1, one AMS instance has network visibility into all virtual machines - covering SAP HANA, SAP NetWeaver, and SQL Server across both environments without any additional instances.

Why the distractors are wrong:

  • B (2) assumes you need one instance per landscape (prod/non-prod) - AMS has no such restriction
  • C (3) assumes you need one per component type (HANA, NetWeaver, SQL Server) - AMS monitors all SAP components from a single instance
  • D (6) combines both wrong assumptions (2 landscapes × 3 components) - the most expensive and most incorrect option

Memory tip: Think "one VNet, one monitor." AMS is scoped at the Azure Monitor resource level, not per-landscape or per-component. As long as all your SAP VMs share network connectivity (via VNET1 here), a single AMS instance covers everything. When a question says "minimize costs," always look for the single-instance answer first with AMS.
