The solution must maximize security and must be supported by SAP and AWS.

How should be company integrate AWS metrics with its SAP system to meet these requirements?

ASet up SAP Solution Manager to call Amazon CoudWatch and Amazon EC2 endpoints with REST-based calls to populate SAPOSCOL details Use SAP transaction ST06N to monitor CPU and memory utilization on each EC2 instance

BInstall the AWS Data Provider for SAP on the Amazon EC2 instances that host SAP Allow access to the Amazon CloudWatch and EC2 endpoints through a NAT gateway Create an IAM policy that allows the ec2 Describeinstances action the cloudwatch.GetMetricStatistics action and the ec2 DescribeVolumes action for all EC2 resources.

CInstall the AWS Data Provider for SAP on the Amazon EC2 instances that host SAP Create VPC endpoints for Amazon CloudWatch and Amazon EC2 Allow access through these endpoints Create an IAM policy that allows the ec2 Describe instances action the cloudwatch GetMemcStatistics action and the ec2 DescribeVolumes action for all EC2 resources.

Dinstall the AWS data Provider for SAP on the Amazon EC2 instances that host SAP Create VPC endpoints for Amazon CloudWatch and Amazon EC2 Allow access through these endpoints Create an IAM policy that allows all actions for all EC2 resources.

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: C

VPC endpoints to ensure that traffic to and from the CloudWatch and EC2 services stays within the VPC. Additionally, an IAM policy is created to grant access to only the necessary actions, such as DescribeInstances and GetMetricStatistics, for all EC2 resources. This approach will provide secure monitoring of the SAP system while maximizing security and ensuring support from both SAP and AWS.

Ah, the joys of secure cloud architectures. Option C is definitely the most elegant solution to this problem. Now if only I could get my boss to understand the difference between a VPC and a VPS...

Haha, I'm not sure I'd want to give the EC2 instances full access to all actions on all resources. That's a bit overkill, don't you think? Option C is the way to go.

I think option D is too risky as it allows all actions for all EC2 resources. I would go with option B for a more secure approach.

I disagree, I believe option B is more secure as it involves installing the AWS Data Provider for SAP on the Amazon EC2 instances and creating an IAM policy for specific actions.
