Hello, and welcome to this learning path that’s been designed to help you get started with SAP on AWS. SAP is a leading producer of software for business process management that’s used by tens of thousands of organizations around the world, and organizations looking to reduce cost and increase reliability for their SAP workloads can leverage AWS services and infrastructure within their SAP architectures.

My name is Danny Jessee, and I am one of the trainers here at Cloud Academy, specializing in AWS–Amazon Web Services–and AWS certifications. Feel free to connect with me to ask any questions using the details shown on the screen. Alternatively, you can always get in touch with us here at Cloud Academy by sending an email to support@cloudacademy.com, where one of our cloud experts will reply to your question.

This learning path is suitable for anyone who is looking to implement SAP solutions using AWS. This includes anyone responsible for monitoring, managing, and maintaining SAP workloads hosted on AWS, as well as anyone who may be looking to migrate existing SAP workloads from an on-premises environment to the AWS cloud.

Throughout this learning path, you’ll gain an understanding of AWS services used to build robust and reliable SAP architectures, including:

• Networking and VPC configurations for SAP on AWS,
• Using block, object, and file storage services for SAP workloads on AWS,
• EC2 instance types that are optimized to support SAP,
• How to architect SAP workloads on AWS for business continuity and disaster recovery,
• How to implement SAP HANA data tiering on AWS, and 
• Understanding the AWS Data Provider for SAP and how it fits into a proper SAP architecture.

As you progress through this learning path, you will be guided through a series of on-demand courses and hands-on labs to gain practical experience working with these services in real-world scenarios.

There are no formal prerequisites for this learning path; however, you may find it beneficial to have some familiarity with the fundamentals of AWS and some of its core services.
