Module 1: Utilize Azure for SAP Workloads Reference Architecture
In this module you will:
Understand how the SAPS metric serves as a major criteria for determining whether a VM size offers throughput requirement necessary for a given SAP workload. It also represents one the primary factors considered by Microsoft and SAP when certifying Azure VMs for SAP NetWeaver and SAP HANA.
Learn how high availability of SAP workloads on Azure VMs can be analyzed in two different contexts:
High availability of SAP workloads
High availability capabilities of Azure infrastructure
See how VMs hosting SAP Application can be backed up using Azure Backup.
Understand how the solution to enable SAP Monitoring using Azure VM Agent and its extensions and how to enable it.
Review security considerations using SQL Server Transparent Data Encryption (TDE) when deployingSAP SQL Server databases in Azure.
Review the compute considerations for planning SAP HANA on Azure Large Instances.
