Overview
    • 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 deploying SAP SQL Server databases in Azure.
      • Review the compute considerations for planning SAP HANA on Azure Large Instances.
