Looking for a free AWS PAS-C01 study guide? This page is a legacy reference for SAP on AWS learning. PAS-C01 was retired by AWS on 30 April 2024, so use this guide to understand the older scope and SAP-on-AWS architecture patterns—not as a current certification path.
Free PAS-C01 reference request
For an older reference PDF, email freelearning@ciscoforall.com with AWS, PAS-C01, and SAP on AWS. We can share an available older reference file free of charge. Availability varies. The PAS-C01 Premium PDF is a separate paid legacy product.
Important status: PAS-C01 is retired
AWS retired the AWS Certified: SAP on AWS – Specialty credential on 30 April 2024. The product and this guide are therefore best used for historical reference, SAP-on-AWS project knowledge, and older training materials. Before planning any active AWS credential, check the current AWS Certification catalogue.
What you will learn from this legacy guide
- How SAP landscapes were designed and operated on AWS.
- How to review resiliency, backups, recovery, networking, identity, monitoring, and cost controls for SAP workloads.
- How to think through migration planning and operational trade-offs.
- How core AWS services support an SAP environment.
SAP on AWS architecture areas
| Area | Practical focus |
|---|---|
| Compute and sizing | Select appropriate Amazon EC2 capacity and understand performance requirements. |
| Storage and databases | Compare block storage, shared files, backup patterns, and database operational needs. |
| Networking and security | Design VPC connectivity, private access, segmentation, IAM controls, and encryption. |
| Availability and recovery | Plan backups, monitoring, recovery objectives, and failure handling. |
| Migration and operations | Assess dependencies, move workloads carefully, monitor health, and manage ongoing costs. |
Easy service comparisons
| Need | Start by comparing | Key question |
|---|---|---|
| Application compute | EC2 instance families and scaling options | What capacity, memory profile, and availability design does the SAP workload need? |
| Block storage | Amazon EBS volume types | Which throughput, IOPS, durability, and backup requirements apply? |
| Shared files | Amazon EFS and managed file patterns | Do multiple systems need concurrent shared access? |
| Monitoring | Amazon CloudWatch and SAP-aware monitoring | Which metrics show application health, capacity risk, and recovery readiness? |
Legacy study workflow
- Read the architecture objective and state the business requirement in your own words.
- Map the requirement to security, availability, performance, operational effort, and cost.
- Sketch the SAP landscape, data flow, dependencies, and recovery points.
- Use the PAS-C01 Premium PDF only for structured revision, then validate technical decisions against current AWS and SAP documentation.
Useful SAP on AWS checklist
For every workload, document the SAP components, availability target, data protection requirement, network paths, access model, performance baseline, monitoring signals, backup approach, and recovery process. This turns a legacy reference into a practical architecture review tool.
