More and more customers are running mission-critical SAP applications on the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Cloud. AWS is the only public cloud certified by SAP to run SAP HANA in production in both single and multi-node configurations up to 1.22TB of memory. AWS offers a variety of options to trial and deploy SAP HANA, including how to utilize SAP HANA licenses that you have already purchased (in a bring your own license scenario) on the low cost, secure, and highly elastic AWS Cloud without having to make long-term commitments or costly capital expenditures for their underlying infrastructure.
Review this content designed for technical decision makers, architects, or IT administrators to gain an overview of the technical capabilities and benefits of running SAP HANA on the AWS Cloud. We will also highlight relevant SAP Support Notes and available tools for HANA such as an Implementation and Operations Guide, and the new SAP HANA on AWS Quick Start Reference Deployment Guide, which includes instructions on how to automate implementation of SAP HANA using AWS CloudFormation templates.
Reasons to Review:
• Gain an overview on the technical capabilities of running SAP HANA on AWS
• Learn more about how to design, deploy, and implement HANA on AWS
• Where to find deployment tools, support notes, available test drives or trials, and a new SAP HANA on AWS Quick Start Reference Deployment Guide
• Hear about customer success stories
• Listen to AWS experts and get your questions answered
• How to engage with AWS to get assistance or find the right AWS partner to help

39. Pre-Requisites: Open an AWS Account
Sign-up at http://aws.amazon.com
Decide Amazon EC2 Region where you want to deploy
Region Location
ap-northeast-1 Asia Pacific (Tokyo)
ap-southeast-1 Asia Pacific (Singapore)
ap-southeast-2 Asia Pacific (Sydney)
eu-west-1 EU (Ireland)
sa-east-1 South America (Sao Paulo)
us-east-1 US East (Northern Virginia)
us-west-1 US West (Northern California)
us-west-2 US West (Oregon)
40. Pre-Requisites: Create or Import a Key-Pair
Action:
Create or import a key-pair in your previously
selected region in the AWS Console
Amazon EC2 uses public-key cryptography to encrypt and decrypt login
information. To be able to log into your instances, you must create a key
pair.
Uses:
Linux: SSH access to virtual machine where SAP
HANA is installed
Windows: Key used to decrypt Windows
Administrator Password via the EC2 console.
User can then log in using Remote Desktop
Protocol (RDP)
* For more information go to EC2 User Guide: http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/ec2-key-pairs.html
41. Pre-Requisites: Sizing for SAP HANA
New Implementation: Use the SAP QuickSizer
(http://service.sap.com/quicksizer)
Migrating an Existing SAP Netweaver BW System: Use the new ABAP
sizing report for SAP NetWeaver BW described in SAP note 1736976*
Migrating an Existing SAP Business Suite System to HANA: See
SAP note 1872170* to estimate the main memory requirements of the
HANA virtual appliance.
* SAP ID Required
42. Optional Pre-Requisite: EC2 Limit Increases
Action: Request a limit increase for Amazon EC2 instances
SAP HANA Deployments leverage the
r3.8xlarge instance type
The default limit for r3.8xlarge instances is 5
If your deployment needs will exceed the
default limits please request a limit increase
for the instance type in the region of your
choice
https://aws.amazon.com/support/createCase -> Service Limit Increase -> Limit Type = EC2

Extract SAP HANA Media to D: drive
46. Step 3: Launch Automated Deployment of SAP HANA
Run .SAP_HANA_Deploy.ps1 Powershell script [-prod optional]
Wait for snapshot of D: drive to complete (10-15 minutes)
Choose number of SAP HANA Nodes to deploy
Enter a Master Password to be used during the HANA Deployment
48. Checking your Deployment
