Modernizing SAP Workloads on AWS

In this digital learning experience, you will learn the importance of maintaining an SAP clean core when integrating with Amazon Web Services (AWS). You will also explore the capabilities to modernize SAP applications using AWS. The course covers how to call AWS services directly from SAP Advanced Business Application Programming (ABAP) code using the AWS SDK for ABAP. You will also learn the purpose and benefits of the AWS and SAP Business Technology Platform Joint Reference Architecture (SAP BTP JRA). You will identify tools like Amazon AppFlow to enable seamless data integration between SAP applications and AWS.

This course will also delve into the potential of AWS data analytics, machine learning (ML), and generative artificial intelligence (AI) services to derive deeper insights from SAP data and extend its value. This knowledge will equip you with the skills necessary to initiate discussions around expanding your SAP to AWS integration, identify potential use cases, and take foundational steps to modernize your SAP solutions on AWS.
