2 CoreToEdge SAP Systems AMIs on Amazon Web Services
2.1 Before We Start This document introduces a product offering by CoreToEdge and will guide the reader through the
process of setting up and deploying our product.
It is assumed that the reader has the proper technical knowledge on the technologies mentioned below
including but not restricted to: AWS architecture, Windows 2012 R2 Server, SAP Basis technology and
SAP ASE Database
2.2 Welcome CoreToEdge Preinstalled SAP systems AMIs include a SAP Business Suite system already installed.
Installation has been done by a team of experienced SAP Basis and AWS Consultants including all
available best practices for deployment of SAP systems on AWS.
These systems are ideal for small and medium deployments of non-productive systems where a single
instance can handle all workload and no high availability is required.
For production use cases and high availability scenarios we recommend the usage of custom built
systems that follow the best practices delivered by SAP and AWS and available on:
http://aws.amazon.com/es/sap/resources/ At CoreToEdge we can also offer custom deployment
options for large-scale, highly available and replicated SAP systems on AWS. You can reach us at
The Preinstalled SAP systems AMIs do not include the corresponding SAP product license. You as a
customer acknowledge that you already have the license required to use this software. Also, you will be
responsible for operating your own AWS account.
2.3 Document version This document has been reviewed on April 14th, 2017 and reflects some changes implemented on the

3 How to create your own SAP Business Suite environment
3.1 Prerequisites ▪ An AWS account - if you don't have one yet, you can register here (click "Sign Up Now"). Have
your credit card handy.

Preinstalled AMI by CoreToEdge Click into it and launch an instance.
▪ Configure AWS instance size from the available choices. For small SAP systems, up to 10
concurrent users, we recommend that you use an EC2 instance with at least 7.5 GB for
memory (ex. m3.large). For more detailed information about SAP Business Suite Sizing and
appropriate EC2 instance types, please refer to SAP documentation, SAP sizing tool and OSS
Notes (S-User required): (http://service.sap.com/instguides )

▪ Next you can choose the EBS volume type, you can leave as default or use SSD / IOPS for best
performance:

▪ The next step is the security group. Default proposed values allow access from anywhere.
You should adapt these settings to meet your specific security policies:

▪ After a few minutes, you can access your instance with SSH and do the final configuration
steps.
3.3 Connect to your SAP AWS instance • In the EC2 console, navigate to “INSTANCES Instances”. This should show all your
instances in Amazon EC2. Make sure the SAP instance you want to connect to is in “running”
state. If not, choose the instance, then click on “Instance Actions” menu, and click on “Start”
in the pulldown menu.
