Hi Hiren,

 

Thanks for sharing, its really helpful and good to have all the latest and greatest tools, info, framework at one place. 

 

Below is our comments/feedback on this:

 

1- We are very much aligned with HANA Quality check V2 and using it, we found some discrepancy between MS documentation and check results provided by HANA quality check report and shared it with Philipp (Inventor of this tool) to amend the parameters.

2- We are using the Azure inventory check for SAP older version and provided our feedback to Jitendra (Inventor of this tool) but nor sure how to grab the latest version.

3- How we can grab Linux VM OS analyzer?

4- We are using AMD version 1 and migrate to AMS V2 that is based on Azure function App

5- We are using Azure Backup service to protect the HANA DB and also using AzAcSnap 5.1 preview version with backint coexist to take the HANA consistent snapshots.

6- We want to test the new hardware Eds_v5 for SAP NetWeaver and SAP HANA but struggling with compute capacity in the Zone where our workload exists.

7-  Also want to migrate to Msv2 for huge VM's (1TB or more).

8- SAP on Azure automation framework can accelerate the SAP on Azure deployment and installation and ensure the consistency across the SAP landscapes/systems.

9- We have not yet tested the Microsoft sentinel for SAP.

10-  These Microsoft guided frameworks like Enterprise scale, Well Architected framework and Deployment checklist are very helpful for cloud adoption and deploy the quality SAP systems on Azure.

 

Thanks
