Getting Started with SAP on AWS
|
Amazon Web Services (AWS) provides SAP customers and partners with on-demand access to servers, storage, and networking in the cloud, to run their SAP systems. AWS is completely self-service, and you pay only for the resources you need and use. With AWS, you don’t need to wait days, weeks, or even months for capital to be approved and infrastructure to be procured and provisioned. AWS enables you to deploy the infrastructure needed to support a complete SAP environment in only a few hours

How are SAP customers and partners using AWS?
SAP use cases range from running a single SAP test system to hosting a complete SAP production environment. Here are some of the most common uses.
SAP use cases range from running a single SAP test system to hosting a complete SAP production environment. Here are some of the most common uses.
- Test, training, demo, POC, and project systems. Deploy infrastructure and systems in a short time, without any commitment or upfront cost. Pay only for the resources you need for the time you need them.
- Trial SAP solutions. Choose from a selection of SAP solutions and try them out on AWS at little or no cost.
- Production SAP hosting. Host complete SAP environments on the AWS cloud.
- Hybrid SAP hosting. Migrate existing SAP development and test landscapes to the AWS cloud while keeping production on premises. Easily enable secure integration between on-premises resources and AWS by using Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (Amazon VPC).
- Disaster recovery. Use the AWS cloud as a DR site for on-premises SAP systems without the expense of a second physical site and standby infrastructure.
- SAP data and document archiving. Archive SAP business documents and data directly to Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) and eliminate the need for expensive, hard-to-manage storage infrastructure on premises.

SAP licensing on AWS
Most SAP solutions use a bring-your-own-software and bring-your-own-license model on AWS. SAP customers and partners can use their existing SAP licenses on AWS. Certain SAP solutions are available on AWS with on-demand, subscription, free trial, or free developer licenses. |
How to get started
Multiple options are available for deploying SAP systems on AWS. You can start with a prebuilt SAP system image, use an AWS Quick Start reference deployment, or build your own SAP system.
Starting with a prebuilt SAP system image
Some SAP solutions are available as prebuilt system images on AWS. These images enable you to rapidly deploy a preinstalled and preconfigured SAP system in a fraction of the time it would normally take to deploy a system on traditional infrastructure. Prebuilt SAP system images are available from the following sources:
AWS Test Drive / SAP Trials / SAP Developer Editions
AWS Marketplace
SAP Cloud Appliance Library

Building your own SAP system on AWS
The process to install an SAP system on AWS is the same as the process to install an SAP system on any other physical or virtual server. AWS provides standard operating system images for Microsoft Windows Server, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server, and Red Hat Enterprise Linux to be used as the starting point to build your new SAP system. High Peaks can work with you to secure and deploy an SAP system on AWS |
