SAP S4 HANA to AWS Cloud
Migrating SAP S/4HANA to AWS Cloud involves moving your SAP S/4HANA system, including the SAP HANA database and application servers, from an on-premises environment or another cloud platform to Amazon Web Services (AWS). This migration allows organizations to leverage the scalability, flexibility, and cost-effectiveness of the AWS cloud infrastructure.
Infrastructure Provisioning: AWS provides various services like Amazon EC2 instances for virtual machines, Amazon EBS for block storage, Amazon S3 for object storage, and Amazon VPC for network isolation, all of which are used to build the SAP S/4HANA environment on AWS.
Database Migration: The SAP HANA database can be migrated using methods such as SAP HANA System Replication (HSR) from on-premises to AWS, or by utilizing AWS services like AWS Database Migration Service (DMS) for specific scenarios.
Application Migration: SAP application servers are typically migrated by exporting data and then importing it into new SAP instances deployed on EC2 instances within AWS. Tools like SAP Software Provisioning Manager (SWPM) are commonly used for this process.
Automation and Management: Tools like AWS Launch Wizard for SAP can automate the deployment of SAP S/4HANA on AWS, while AWS Management Services and monitoring tools like Amazon CloudWatch help in managing and optimizing the SAP landscape in the cloud.
