A company needs to migrate its SAP HANA landscape from an on-premises data center to AWS. The company's existing SAP HANA database instance is oversized. The company must resize the database instance

Question

Options

• ADetermine the peak memory utilization of the existing on-premises SAP HANA system.
• BDetermine the average memory utilization of the existing on-premises SAP HANA system.
• CFor the target system, select any SAP certified EC2 instance that provides more memory than the
• DFor the target system, select the smallest SAP certified EC2 instance that provides more memory
• EFor the target system, select any current-generation EC2 memory optimized instance.

• A
  70% (14)
• B
  5% (1)
• C
  10% (2)
• E
  15% (3)

Explanation

For right-sizing SAP HANA, you must use peak memory utilization (A), not average (B). SAP HANA is an in-memory database, and the target instance must be able to handle the worst-case memory demand without degradation. Using average utilization risks under-provisioning. For the target instance, you should select the smallest SAP-certified EC2 instance that provides more memory than the observed peak (D). SAP HANA requires AWS-certified instances (specific 'x', 'u-*', 'r' family instances) - choosing 'any' instance (C) or 'any current-generation memory optimized' instance (E) ignores SAP certification requirements, which are mandatory for production SAP HANA workloads and for SAP support.
