This course is for architects and engineers who design and manage SAP solutions on Microsoft Azure. It's suited to professionals responsible for SAP migrations, SAP HANA deployments, high availability configurations, and ongoing operations — including those working with RISE with SAP. It is an advanced-level course and assumes significant prior experience with SAP applications and Azure infrastructure.

What experience do I need before taking the AZ-120 course?

You should have extensive hands-on experience with SAP applications and databases — especially SAP HANA, SAP Business Suite, and SAP NetWeaver — along with strong knowledge of Azure virtual machines, networking, and storage. Familiarity with the Azure portal, Azure Resource Manager templates, and Bicep is also expected. This is not a beginner course.

Is the AZ-120 course available as live, instructor-led training?

Yes. Readynez delivers the Planning and Deploying SAP on Azure (AZ-120) course as live, instructor-led virtual training — with a real Microsoft Certified Trainer, not pre-recorded content.

What does the AZ-120 course cover?

The course covers four core areas: planning and migrating SAP workloads to Azure (migration strategy, Azure landing zones, SAP RISE integration, governance, authentication); designing and implementing Azure infrastructure for SAP (compute, networking, storage with Azure NetApp Files and Azure Files); designing and implementing high availability and disaster recovery (clustering for HANA and SCS, Pacemaker and STONITH, Azure Site Recovery, backup and restore); and monitoring and maintaining SAP workloads (Azure Monitor, Azure Advisor, cost and performance optimization, Reserved Instances).

Does the AZ-120 course cover SAP HANA and RISE with SAP?

How does AZ-120 differ from AZ-104 (Azure Administrator)?

AZ-104 covers general Azure administration — VMs, networking, storage, and identity across all workloads. AZ-120 is a Specialty-level course focused entirely on SAP workloads running on Azure. It assumes Azure administration skills and goes deeper into SAP-specific architecture, SAP HANA configurations, high availability with Pacemaker and STONITH, and SAP RISE integration — areas not covered in AZ-104.

What exam and certification does the AZ-120 course prepare me for?

The course prepares you for the exam: Planning and Administering Microsoft Azure for SAP Workloads (AZ-120). Passing earns the Microsoft Certified: Azure for SAP Workloads Specialty certification. The course with Readynez includes a Certification Guarantee.
