Hello, and welcome to this course on Operating and Monitoring SAP Workloads on AWS, where we’re here to help you on your journey to prepare for the AWS Certified: SAP on AWS Specialty certification.

Before we get started, I’d like to introduce myself. 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. In this course, the AWS team will be presenting a series of lectures that discuss how to operate and monitor SAP workloads on AWS. Feel free to contact me with any questions using the details shown on the screen, or 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 course has been specifically curated to help you pass the AWS Certified: SAP on AWS Specialty exam and is ideal for anyone who is looking to learn more about how to operate and monitor SAP workloads on AWS in preparation for the exam.

The objective of this course is to provide a high-level introduction to various AWS services that can assist with operating and monitoring SAP workloads on AWS. We’ll begin by discussing three important services that are used when managing and monitoring SAP infrastructure on AWS: Amazon CloudWatch, AWS CloudTrail, and AWS Config. We’ll learn all about the benefits of using CloudWatch and various audit logs to manage your infrastructure. Then we’ll take a look at some cost management services within AWS, including Cost Explorer, AWS Cost and Usage Reports, and AWS Budgets. We’ll discuss how to automate patch and state operations for our SAP instances using AWS Systems Manager, and we’ll wrap up the course by introducing the AWS Data Provider for SAP and explaining how it is used to help gather performance-related data across AWS services which can then be fed to SAP applications, enhancing the performance of your business transactions.

Together with the other courses in this learning path, we’ll cover all of the key tools, technologies, and concepts from the AWS Certified: SAP on AWS Specialty exam guide and ensure that you are fully prepared to sit this exam.

The AWS Certified: SAP on AWS Specialty certification has been designed for anyone who has experience managing and operating SAP workloads. Ideally, you’ll also have some exposure to the design and implementation of SAP workloads on AWS, including migrating these workloads from on-premises environments. Many exam questions will require a solutions architect level of knowledge for many AWS services. All of the AWS Cloud concepts introduced in this course will be explained and reinforced from the ground up.
