Maintaining SAP Workloads on Azure
SAP systems running on Azure demand a different operational mindset than on-premises infrastructure—and downtime costs are brutal. This course cuts through the noise to show you exactly how to maintain, monitor, and optimise SAP workloads in the cloud, so your organisation stays compliant and cost-efficient.
AIU.ac Verdict: Ideal for cloud architects, SAP administrators, and DevOps engineers transitioning SAP estates to Azure. You’ll gain practical, immediately applicable skills in a tight 64 minutes. Note: assumes foundational Azure and SAP knowledge; not an introductory course.
What This Course Covers
The course walks through SAP-specific deployment patterns on Azure infrastructure, covering virtual machine sizing, storage configuration, and networking best practices. You’ll explore monitoring strategies tailored to SAP workloads, including performance baselines, alerting frameworks, and troubleshooting workflows that prevent costly incidents.
Beyond the basics, Roosevelt Wilmot unpacks operational resilience—backup and disaster recovery for SAP systems, patching strategies that minimise downtime, and cost optimisation techniques specific to SAP licensing on Azure. Hands-on labs let you apply these concepts in real scenarios, bridging the gap between theory and production readiness.
Who Is This Course For?
Ideal for:
- SAP System Administrators: Moving SAP estates to Azure and need to master cloud-native operational patterns without sacrificing system stability.
- Cloud Architects: Designing SAP infrastructure on Azure and require deep knowledge of maintenance, monitoring, and compliance requirements.
- DevOps Engineers: Supporting SAP deployments and seeking to automate operational tasks, reduce manual overhead, and improve incident response.
May not suit:
- SAP Beginners: This course assumes solid SAP fundamentals; if you’re new to SAP, start with core SAP architecture courses first.
- Azure Novices: Requires working knowledge of Azure compute, storage, and networking; foundational Azure training is a prerequisite.
