Abstract

Cloud hosting of SAP S/4HANA has been central to the strategies through which organizations optimize the efficiency of their operations through cost cuts. This paper will consider several cloud infrastructural strategies to ensure maximization of cost-efficiency and performance in executing SAP S / 4HANA on Amazon Web Services (AWS). Due to the complicated nature of managing cloud resources, the paper discusses architecture designs like optimum instance types, storage auto-scale designs, and best practices in cost management. Upon comparing these strategies, the present paper draws into the limelight the implication of each of these strategies on the system's performance and the total cost of operations. After reviewing the innovative characteristics of AWS, which are elastic compute cloud (EC2), simple storage service (S3), and AWS cost management, the study formulates workable recommendations that businesses can implement to limit their costs in high-performance computing. The research will aim to educate companies on optimizing their SAP S/4HANA apps on AWS and enabling them to scale and sustainably on the cloud.
