A company wants to improve the RPO and RTO for its SAP disaster recovery (DR) solution by running the DR solution on AWS The company is running SAP ERP Central Component (SAP ECO on SAP HANA The company has set an RPO of 15 minutes and an RTO of 4 hours.

The production SAP HANA database is running on a physical appliance that has x86 architecture. The appliance has 1 TB of memory and the SAP HANA global allocation limit is set to 768 GB. The SAP application servers are running as VMs on VMware and they store data on an NFS file system The company does not want to change any existing SAP HANA parameters that are related to data and log backup for its on-premises systems.

Suggested Answer: C

VPC endpoints to ensure that traffic to and from the CloudWatch and EC2 services stays within the VPC. Additionally, an IAM policy is created to grant access to only the necessary actions, such as DescribeInstances and GetMetricStatistics, for all EC2 resources. This approach will provide secure monitoring of the SAP system while maximizing security and ensuring support from both SAP and AWS.

I vaguely remember something about using smaller EC2 instances for cost-effectiveness. But I’m not clear on how that impacts the overall DR strategy for SAP HANA.

CloudEndure Disaster Recovery sounds familiar, but I’m uncertain if it meets the RTO requirement effectively. I need to double-check its capabilities for continuous replication.

I think we practiced a similar question where we had to choose between AWS DataSync and Storage Gateway. I feel like DataSync might be the better option here, but I can't recall the specifics.

I remember we discussed the importance of log backup frequency for RPO. Changing it to 5 minutes seems like a good idea, but I'm not sure if that's enough.

I'm a bit unsure about the CloudEndure option in C. While it might provide the most seamless disaster recovery, the cost implications could be higher. I'd want to do some more research on the pricing and tradeoffs.

This seems like a straightforward organizational structure question. I'll think through the key details - small firm, 100 employees, two-story building, no plans to expand, and non-custom furniture. Based on that, I'm leaning towards functional departmentalization as the most likely structure.

This looks like a classic anomaly detection problem. The Anomaly Detector service seems like the obvious choice here to identify unusual values in the time series data.

Okay, let's see... I think the key here is identifying the type of survey that measures end-to-end network performance. Active ping seems like the most likely option.
