This book helps SAP architects and SAP Basis administrators deploy and operate SAP S/4HANA systems on the most common public cloud platforms. Market-leading cloud offerings are covered, including Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud. You will gain an end-to-end understanding of the initial implementation of SAP S/4HANA systems on those platforms. You will learn how to move away from the big monolithic SAP ERP systems and arrive at an environment with a central SAP S/4HANA system as the digital core surrounded by cloud-native services. The book begins by introducing the core concepts of Hyperscaler cloud platforms that are relevant to SAP. You will learn about the architecture of SAP S/4HANA systems on public cloud platforms, with specific content provided for each of the major platforms. The book simplifies the deployment of SAP S/4HANA systems in public clouds by providing step-by-step instructions and helping you deal with the complexity of such a deployment. Content in the book is based on best practices, industry lessons learned, and architectural blueprints, helping you develop deep insights into the operations of SAP S/4HANA systems on public cloud platforms. Reading this book enables you to build and operate your own SAP S/4HANA system in the public cloud with a minimum of effort. What You Will Learn Choose the right Hyperscaler platform for your future SAP S/4HANA workloads Start deploying your first SAP S/4HANA system in the public cloud Avoid typical pitfalls during your implementation Apply and leverage cloud-native services for your SAP S/4HANA system Save costs by choosing the right architecture and build a robust architecture for your most critical SAP systems Meet your business' criteria for availability and performance by having the right sizing in place Identify further use cases when operating SAP S/4HANA in the public cloud Who This Book Is For SAP architects looking for an answer on how to move SAP S/4HANA systems from on-premises into the cloud; those planning to deploy to one of the three major platforms from Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform; and SAP Basis administrators seeking a detailed and realistic description of how to get started on a migration to the cloud and how to drive that cloud implementation to completion

Virtualisierung spielt eine immer groessere Rolle beim Betrieb von SAP-ERP-Systemen. Jedoch liegen die Einflusse der Virtualisierung auf die Performance und Skalierung oftmals im Dunkeln und treten erst bei Problemen zutage. Andre Boegelsack stellt anhand des Benchmarks "Zachmanntest" dar, wie einfach und effektiv sich SAP-ERP-Systeme benchmarken lassen und die Einflusse von Virtualisierung benannt werden koennen. Aufgrund einer grosszahligen Untersuchung koennen die Einflusse in vielen Lastphasen detailliert dargestellt werden. Der Autor zeigt auch, wie auf solche Einflusse reagiert und die Performance des SAP-ERP-Systems sichergestellt werden kann.
