AZ-120 · Planning and Administering Microsoft Azure for SAP Workloads
Build working judgment for Azure architecture and operations for SAP workloads.
What you should expect
Build working judgment for Azure architecture and operations for SAP workloads.
This Field Guide develops a working mental model of Azure architecture and operations for SAP workloads. You will connect size and select Azure compute, storage, and network architecture for SAP workloads, design high availability, clustering, fencing, and disaster recovery for SAP components, choose migration strategies and tooling based on workload constraints and downtime tolerance, and reason about SAP-certified infrastructure, performance, latency, and availability requirements. You are not just memorizing feature names; you are learning what owns the requirement, what can fail, and how to verify the outcome.
What you will learn
- size and select Azure compute, storage, and network architecture for SAP workloads
- design high availability, clustering, fencing, and disaster recovery for SAP components
- choose migration strategies and tooling based on workload constraints and downtime tolerance
- reason about SAP-certified infrastructure, performance, latency, and availability requirements
- recognize why one technically plausible alternative loses under the stated requirement
- apply Changed Fact reasoning and verify the design or implementation through operational evidence
Decision skills you will practice
- identify the governing requirement
- compare the nearest plausible alternative
- apply Changed Fact reasoning
- trace prerequisites, dependencies, and failure paths
- verify configured state, effective state, runtime outcome, and negative-path evidence
Who this is for
Azure and SAP infrastructure professionals planning, migrating, operating, and protecting SAP workloads on Azure
Use this when you need to learn the architecture, mechanics, dependencies, tradeoffs, failure paths, and verification logic behind the certification.
Decisions you will learn to distinguish
- lift-and-shift vs migration/transformation path
- availability design vs backup/recovery design
- Azure infrastructure health vs SAP workload-specific performance requirement
Why JITA is different
Microsoft explains the platform. JITA teaches the decision.
Microsoft Learn explains the services, features, and documented behavior that support Azure architecture and operations for SAP workloads. JITA connects those capabilities into decisions: what owns the requirement, what the nearest alternative is, what changes when one fact changes, and what evidence proves the implementation worked.
