SUSE Linux Enterprise Server for SAP Applications is the leading Linux platform for SAP on AWS backed by a single point of contact via AWS Premium Support.
Overview
Note: If you are doing an in-place upgrade to a newer product version, please ensure you are purchasing annual subscription for the original product to avoid double charges. For example, if your EC2 instance was launched with SLES SAP SP5 and later upgraded to SP6, please maintain a subscription for SP5, not SP6.
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) for SAP Applications is the leading Linux platform for SAP HANA, SAP NetWeaver, SAP S/4HANA and SAP Business Applications providing optimized performance and reduced downtime as well as faster SAP system deployments.
Reduce complexity of managing SAP landscapes with SUSE's Expanded Service Pack Overlap Support providing support for 4.5 years with an active subscription. For more information visit the <www.suse.com/support > * Do note - there are significant Differences between SLES and SLES for SAP Applications. Please evaluate carefully based on your business needs. After the AMI is deployed, changing the operating system type will require deploying a new AMI and re-installing the applications. The following features that are critical to run SAP workload are only available in SLES 4 SAP Applications, but not in regular SLES: 3 Years Extended Service Pack Overlap Support (ESPOS) , SLES High Availability Extension (Pacemaker framework), High Availability Solutions for NetWeaver, S/4HANA & HANA System Replication, Continuous tuning agent (saptune), Kernel Live Patching, Lifecycle Management Module, Workload Memory Protection. Each of these add significant value to a successful, high-performing SAP Landscape.
SLES for SAP Applications 15 introduced the following new features: -Improved high availability capabilities including early recognition of primary system failures -Pre/post-script commands to adapt SAP HANA failover/recovery to user-defined scenarios and internal tools -Workload Memory Protection replaces Page Cache Management to prioritize performance of SAP applications. If you intend to run SLES for SAP on Reserved Instances, make sure to purchase them in EC2 Console using Linux/Unix or Linux/Unix (Amazon VPC) as Platform selection. SUSE Linux Platform option is only relevant for running regular SLES. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1AsztZ7biT0&feature=youtu.be

Dimensions summary
You pay by the hour for each running instance, with no upfront commitment. Pricing is organized by EC2 instance type, so your rate depends on which instance size you choose. Options range from small general-purpose instances to large memory-optimized and bare-metal machines built for SAP workloads. Larger instances with more CPU and memory carry higher hourly rates. You select the instance that fits your SAP application's compute and memory needs, and billing scales with the number of hours each instance runs. Memory-heavy instance families support the high-memory demands common to SAP HANA deployments.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
One unit is one running EC2 instance of that type, billed per hour. The rate bundles the SUSE Linux Enterprise Server for SAP Applications software license with the instance. You are billed for each hour that instance runs, based on its CPU and memory size.
The hourly software charge meters running time only. A fully stopped instance does not accrue the SUSE software fee. Underlying AWS storage or other resource fees may still apply while the instance is stopped, but the license itself bills only while the instance runs.
Memory-optimized families such as r-series, x-series, and high-memory u-series instances carry more RAM per instance, matching HANA's in-memory database demands. The platform is validated by SAP for mission-critical SAP workloads. You pick the instance whose memory and compute fit your workload; the hourly rate scales with that size.

Amazon Machine Image (AMI)
An AMI is a virtual image that provides the information required to launch an instance. Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) instances are virtual servers on which you can run your applications and workloads, offering varying combinations of CPU, memory, storage, and networking resources. You can launch as many instances from as many different AMIs as you need.
