Martin is involved in SAP certifications on AWS and other things

Why build cloud services? Traditional IT is hard
Purchase server up front, pay it, not using to capacity
Source: AWS
Provision in hours
Provision temporary infrastructures for proof of concept
Only take a few seconds to deploy
Pay as you go
Chris said "Using the Quick start stuff - you can have a full HANA system in 1hr, 30mins of which is the software download"

Size for what you need
As server grows, your server grows as you need
Source: AWS
Virtual servers hosted in cloud
Announced 62nd price reduction 2 weeks ago
Never had a price increase over the past 11 years
Same operating system as on-premise
Bring your own license flavor is available
Source: AWS
EC2 is secure
Source: AWS
You inherit these certifications when using AWS

Where is my data located? Multiple availability zones. You choose the region of choice
Special AWS account to deploy to "gov" clouds
Insulated from failures in other areas
Redundant power, connectivity
Lots of regions means global reach
Green circles means plans in 6 months
No current plans for Africa/Middle East; based on demand

SAP notes are shown above
If you clone system, new system ID and new hardware key, invalidate license
Source: AWS
AWS credits - some PoC for TB instances

SAP EC2 certified instances are shown above
Source: AWS
Think of the above as "hard disks" attached to your EC2 instance
Source: AWS
IP address, host names, - deploys SAP HANA appliance
Quick start deployment meets all KPI's that SAP has put in place
Can be used for production workloads
Source: AWS
Reduce your bill; dashboard keeps track of your usage
Worth looking at trusted advisor to save money
Source: AWS
Cloud Watch monitors data
Cloud Trail - complete documentation of all changes of AWS infrastructure; on-premise you cannot guarantee this. Cloud trail is the "full audit trail" of changes
Source: AWS
You can use SAP CAL to deploy
AWS does not sell SAP licenses
Source: AWS
Integrated to SAP Support queues
Your responsibility to patch the system
See Amazon Partner Network to help you manage AWS deployed SAP enviornment
Look at SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud for an offering for AWS

Question about SAP Cloud Platform - Chris supplied this: http://diginomica.com/2017/05/14/sap-cloud-platform-the-multi-cloud-almost-realized-a-sapphirenow-20...
Moya Watson added "SAP Cloud Platform can already spin up an instance on AWS via Cloud Foundry" and "AP Cloud Platform Cloud Foundry will spin up on AWS in Europe and in US East. in US West, it's currently Azure (beta)"
Q: So if we (in Seattle) were to sign up for SCP now, it would be on Azure and in beta? Or does the beta designation mean it would be on SAP's own infrastructure?
A: if you want to use the cloud foundry environment, yes --
Q: Which hypervisor is used?
A: Amazon uses its own
Q: Is there a list with in build security features for i.e. internet SAP systems? (DDos Services etc, )
A: Yes there is; contact Security SA
Q: I got a little confused about adding memory to an existing instance. First it sounded like there's a need to restart the instance, and have some downtime (admittedly just a few minutes). But then I thought I heard that it can be done without taking the instance down. Is that because of utilizing a failover scenario? Or did I misunderstand?
A: it needs HANA downtime, not ABAP downtime - but most Basis people will bring ABAP down to save on the reporting the System log

Abstract:
The AWS Cloud can help you move faster, operate more securely, and save substantial costs; all while benefitting from the scale and performance of the cloud. We’ll provide a general overview of Amazon’s cloud architecture, cover AWS services that are certified for SAP workloads (including SAP HANA) and touch on high-availability and disaster recovery scenarios.
