Running SAP in the Cloud – Benefits, Terminology, and Best Practices Do you want to learn how to effectively run SAP systems in a cloud environment and leverage all the benefits cloud offers? Our Running SAP in the Cloud in Practice workshop introduces modern approaches to managing, monitoring, and optimizing SAP systems not only in SAP Private Cloud and SAP Public Cloud environments but also on major hyperscaler platforms such as AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud.

You will discover the differences between SAP Private Cloud, which provides dedicated cloud infrastructure, and SAP Public Cloud, offering a multi-tenant solution fully managed by SAP. We will show how cloud operations help increase flexibility, scalability, and availability of SAP applications while reducing costs and ensuring security compliant with modern standards.

We also explain concepts such as cloud-native architecture, hyperscalers, hybrid cloud, and multicloud, showing how these are applied to different SAP operating scenarios. Best practices for environment management, backup, disaster recovery, and automation of operational tasks using tools like SAP Cloud ALM, SAP Landscape Management, and more will be demonstrated.

If you want to gain key know-how on running SAP systems in the cloud and handling transitions or concurrent operation with on-premise solutions, this workshop is designed for you.

At the workshop, we focused on the following topics:

  • Differences between SAP Private Cloud and SAP Public Cloud and when to use each model
