Run Azure for SAP workloads

In this module, you will:

• Explore how using Azure Marketplace images involves deploying VMs based on Microsoft or third-party provided VM images from the Azure Marketplace.
• Look at how to deploy VMs based on customer-specific images, using Windows or Linux, such as SUSE and RedHat.Methodologies for deployment using Microsoft Azure CLI commands, Azure PowerShell cmdlets, and Azure Resource Manager(ARM) templates.

In this module, you will understand the difference between Classic Migration and SAP Database Migration Option (DMO) sometimes referred to as one-step and two-step migration, respectively.

• Classical Migration: SAP’s Software Provisioning Manager (SWPM) is used as the Software Logistics (SL) tool and is exclusively for database migrations. Classical Migration uses a heterogenous system copy approach and is sometimes referred to as two-step migration.
• SAP Database Migration Option (DMO): DMO facilitates both an SAP upgrade and a database migration to the SAP HANA database using one tool. DMO process is often referred to as a one-step migration.You will see how the Software Update Manager (SUM) tool creates a shadow repository for an existing database while a target database is created in parallel; eventually the shadow repository is copied and the SAP database connection is switched to the target database.

In this module you will:

• Understand the two methods for connecting remotely to Azure VMs running SAP workloads.
• Review the two methods for backing up Azure VMs running SAP workloads.

In this module, you will identify the scenarios for which Azure Backup provides backup and restore capabilities for SAP workloads running on Azure virtual machines and walk through the backup and restore process and considerations for an SAP HANA database running on Azure virtual machines.

In this module, you will:

• Select the appropriate monitoring solution.
• Evaluate Azure Monitor logs and Azure Monitor for VMs.
• Configure a Log Analytics workspace.
• Navigate the Log Analytics interface in Azure Monitor.
