Answer 1

Hi @MS Techie ,

In general, there are three options when deploying SAP products in Azure:

Azure VMs: There is a growing number of Azure VM SKUs certified for hosting SAP HANA including GS5 and a number of M family VM sizes (with M208ms_v2, featuring 5.7 TiB of memory and with M128s supporting scale-out configuration). There is also much larger selection of Azure VM SKUs that support non-HANA workloads (NetWeaver and non-NetWeaver products).

SAP HANA on Azure (Large Instances): There are several SKUs ranging from 2 TiB per node (S192 with scale-out support) to 20 TiB per node (S960m). Two different classes of hardware divide the SKUs into:

• S72, S72m, S96, S144, S144m, S192, S192m, and S192xm, which are referred to as the "Type I class" of SKUs.
• S384, S384m, S384xm, S384xxm, S576m, S576xm S768m, S768xm, and S960m, which are referred to as the "Type II class" of SKUs.

SAP Cloud Appliance Library (CAL): SAP CAL offers pre-configured software appliances on different public clouds, including Azure. The primary benefit of SAP CAL is that it provides an easy way to deploy and test pre-configured SAP solutions offered by SAP without having to provision underlying infrastructure. SAP CAL on Azure includes support for SAP S/4HANA or BW/4HANA.

Answer 2

Actually i had created a SAP on Azure VM from the portal and found that it was a Linux OS. I had checked this before creating this ticket.

I dont want PaaS version of SAP in Azure.

So my question is , can we get an image of SAP on Azure with OS being windows ?

@MS Techie To add to what LeonLaude shared, yes you can deploy SAP NetWeaver on a Windows Server OS. See this guide here.
