Answer: A

Explanation:

Azure Migrate is a Microsoft service that helps an enterprise assess how its on-premises workloads will perform, and how much they will cost to host, in the Azure public cloud. An enterprise can use Azure Migrate to discover information about the VMware VMs running within its own data center, including CPU and memory usage, as well as performance history.

SAP EarlyWatch Alert (EWA) is a monitoring service for SAP customers, to monitor SAP systems in the solution landscape.

You need to recommend a solution to reduce the cost of the SAP non-production landscapes after the migration.

What should you include in the recommendation?
A . Deallocate virtual machines when not In use.
B. Migrate the SQL Server databases to Azure SQL Data Warehouse.
C. Configure scaling of Azure App Service.
D. Deploy non-production landscapes to Azure Devlest Labs.

Be aware that network traffic between two peered Azure virtual networks is subject to transfer costs. Huge data volume that consists of many terabytes is exchanged between the SAP application layer and the DBMS layer. You can accumulate substantial costs if the SAP application layer and DBMS layer are segregated between two peered Azure virtual networks.

You have SAP ERP on Azure.

For SAP high availability, you plan to deploy ASCS/ERS instances across Azure Availability Zones and to use failover clusters.

For each of the following statements, select Yes if the statement is true. Otherwise, select No. NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

View Answer

Answer:

Explanation:

Box 1: No

You can’t use an Azure Basic Load Balancer to create failover cluster solutions based on Windows Server Failover Clustering or Linux Pacemaker. Instead, you need to use the Azure Standard Load Balancer SKU.

Box 2: Yes

Azure Availability Zones is one of the high-availability features that Azure provides. Using Availability Zones improves the overall availability of SAP workloads on Azure.

The SAP application layer is deployed across one Azure availability set. For high availability of SAP Central Services, you can deploy two VMs in a separate availability set.

Box 3: Yes

You must use Azure Managed Disks when you deploy to Azure Availability Zones.
