Overview

Planning and Administering Microsoft Azure for SAP Workloads (Practice Test)

What you'll learn:
  • How to clear AZ-120 exam

Candidates for this exam should be architects or engineers with extensive experience and knowledge of the SAP system landscape and industry standards that are specific to the long-term operation of an SAP solution on Microsoft Azure.

Responsibilities for an architect or an engineer for Azure for SAP Workloads include making recommendations on services and adjust resources as appropriate for optimal resiliency, performance, scale, provision, size, and monitoring.

Architects or engineers for Azure for SAP Workloads partner with cloud administrators, cloud DBAs, and clients to implement solutions.

A candidate for this exam should have extensive experience and knowledge of SAP applications: SAP HANA, S/4HANA, SAP NetWeaver, SAP BW/4HANA, OS servers for SAP applications and databases, Azure portal, ARM templates, operating systems, virtualization, cloud infrastructure, storage structures, high availability design, disaster recovery design, data protection concepts, and networking.

For this exam, it’s strongly recommended to have an Azure Administrator Associate or Azure Solutions Architect Expert certification, in addition to SAP HANA and Linux certifications.

This Practice exam measures your ability to accomplish the following technical tasks: migrate SAP Workloads to Azure; design an Azure solution to support SAP Workloads; build and deploy Azure SAP Workloads; validate Azure infrastructure for SAP Workloads; and operationalize Azure SAP architecture.
