AWS Certified SAP on AWS Specialty - Hands On Guide

Learn to create an AWS account, secure the root user with MFA, and configure an IAM admin user with access keys and budgeting for hands-on cloud work.

Explore the six pillars of the AWS Well-Architected Framework—operational excellence, security, reliability, performance efficiency, cost optimization, and sustainability—and learn how the AWS Well-Architected Tool and SAP Lens guide workload reviews.

Explore YAML, a human-friendly data serialization format used for templates and configuration files, and learn its syntax with key-value pairs, indentation rules using spaces, and list and block notations.

Explore how AWS VPC enables isolated networks for SAP workloads, covering default VPC, CIDR blocks, public and private subnets, internet gateway, NAT gateway, and security controls.

Explore how to create and configure a custom VPC, attach an internet gateway, and update route tables to enable external access for a 10.0.0.0/16 VPC.

Set up a CloudWatch alarm for an EC2 instance CPU utilization with a 70% threshold on a one-minute period, and use the stress utility to generate load.

Explore AWS EC2 storage options, including device storage with EBS and instance store volumes, and shared storage with EFS, FSx, and S3 for SAP workloads.

Reboot the EC2 instance, connect via terminal, auto mount the EBS volume by UUID in /etc/fstab for /data with xfs, then detach and attach to another instance or via snapshot.

Create an Amazon FSx for Windows file server in a custom VPC, attach it to Windows EC2 instances, configure Active Directory integration, and test cross-AZ network drive access.

enable the AWS data provider for SAP on EC2 to collect metrics and instance metadata from EC2, CloudWatch, and S3, with read-only access to EC2, CloudWatch, and S3.

Explore AWS compute services, from AWS Lambda with SAP ABAP support to containerized options like ECS, EKS, and Fargate, plus VMware Cloud on AWS for hybrid cloud migrations.

Explore EBS-optimized instances delivering dedicated EBS I/O, reducing contention and boosting EBS performance. Enable at launch or stop to enable, and ensure sufficient throughput to avoid bottlenecks for SAP workloads.

Amazon EFS provides shared, POSIX-compliant NFS storage for Linux workloads across VPCs, accounts, and regions. Use cases include HANA shared storage, SAP scale-out, and cross-VPC SAP transport file systems.

Create and manage s3 buckets, learn naming and scope, enable security like block public access and versioning, and upload files via cli and console with signed urls for temporary access.

Compare S3 storage classes, from standard for frequent access to infrequent access and one zone infrequent access. Glacier offers instant, flexible, and deep archive retrieval, while intelligent-tiering auto-saves costs.

Enable S3 bucket versioning to preserve, retrieve, and restore object versions. Understand that suspending versioning preserves existing versions, and that a delete marker hides the deleted object.

Explore S3 replication options: same-region and cross-region replication with versioning-enabled buckets and cross-account support. Understand that replication is asynchronous; only new source objects replicate, while batch replication handles existing data.

Centralize and automate backups across AWS services with on demand and scheduled options. Create backup plans and life cycles, enable cross region and cross account backups, and point-in-time recovery.

Discover AWS transfer family to access S3 and EFS with SFTP, FTPS, FTP, and AS2 for B2B transfers, featuring an always-on endpoint and flexible authentication options.

Learn how AWS DataSync enables one-way data replication and migration for SAP on AWS, with on-premises agents, nfs/smb/hdfs support, and both heterogeneous and homogeneous lift-and-shift migrations.

Navigate route tables, subnets, and NACLs in a VPC, covering public/private subnets, IGW, NAT gateway, IPv6 egress only internet gateway, and stateless NACL rules.

Discover VPC flow logs enable monitoring and troubleshooting of network traffic, with options to log accepted, rejected, or all traffic and export to S3, CloudWatch, or Kinesis Firehose for Athena.

Resize EC2 instances to vertically scale by changing the instance type within or across families, ensuring compatibility, stopping the instance with hibernation disabled, and managing auto-scaling groups.
