Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A

A is correct because stopping the complete SAP system and the EC2 instance is required to change the instance type to a larger size. Using the AWS Management Console or the AWS CLI to change the instance type is the easiest and fastest way to do so. Starting the EC2 instance and the complete SAP system will resume the normal operation. The other options are not correct or feasible for scaling up the PAS instance.

Option A looks like the safest bet, even if it's a bit more time-consuming. Better to be cautious with a production system.

Haha, imagine if the consultant just logged in and ran 'aws ec2 modify-instance-attribute --instance-id 1234 --instance-type c5a.2xlarge1'. That would be a funny typo!

I'm not too sure about Option C. Terminating the instance and then changing the type seems like a lot of unnecessary steps.
