Amazon PAS-C01 Exam - Topic 3 Question 55 Discussion

Actual exam question for Amazon's PAS-C01 exam

Question #: 55
Topic #: 3

A company is running SAP on anyDB at a remote location that has slow and inconsistent internet connectivity. The company wants to migrate its system to AWS and wants to convert its database to SAP HANA during this process Because of the inconsistent internet connection the company has not established connectivity between the remote location and the company's VPC in the AWS Cloud.

How should the company perform this migration?

AMigrate by using SAP HANA system replication over the internet connection Specify a public IP address on the target system

BMigrate by using SAP Software Update Manager (SUM) Database Migration Option (DMO) with System Move Use an AWS Snowball Edge Storage Optimized device to transfer the SAP export files to AWS

CMigrate by using SAP HANA system replication with initialization through backup and restore Use an AWS Snowball Edge Storage Optimized device to transfer the SAP export files to AWS

DMigrate by using SAP Software Update Manager (SUM) Database Migration Option (DMO) with System Move Use Amazon Elastic File System (Amazon EPS) to transfer the SAP export files to AWS

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: B

Snowball Edge allows for offline data transfer, which is suitable for cases where there is slow and inconsistent internet connectivity. The data can be transferred to the Snowball Edge device, shipped to the AWS region, and then imported into the new SAP HANA system in the VPC. This is a suitable option for migrating large amounts of data from a remote location to AWS.

I feel like using Amazon EFS in option D might not be ideal for this scenario, given the connectivity issues. I think we should focus on the Snowball options.

Hmm, this seems like a tricky one. I'll need to carefully consider the options and the constraints around the internet connectivity.SarahW: Okay, let's see. The key here is that the company has a slow and inconsistent internet connection, so we need to find a migration approach that doesn't rely too heavily on that.MikeT: I think option B or C might be the way to go here. Using an AWS Snowball Edge device to transfer the data could work well given the connectivity issues.LisaM: I'm a bit confused by the differences between the options. I'll need to read through them again carefully to understand the nuances.JamesS: Option C looks promising to me. Leveraging HANA system replication with backup and restore could be a good fit for this scenario.
