Microsoft Certified: Azure for SAP Workloads Specialty AZ-120 Question # 53 Topic 6 Discussion

Step 1: From the Azure portal, create a service principal

The Azure connector can use a Service Principal to authorize against Microsoft Azure. Follow these steps to create a Service Principal for SAP Landscape Management (LaMa).

Step 2: Add permissions to the service principal

The Service Principal does not have permissions to access your Azure resources by default. You need to give the Service Principal permissions to access them.

Step 3: From the Cloud Managers tab in LaMa, add an adapter

Create a new connector in SAP LaMa

Open the SAP LaMa website and navigate to Infrastructure. Go to tab Cloud Managers and click on Add. Select the Microsoft Azure Cloud Adapter

Step 4: Install and configure LaMA on an SAP NetWeater instance

Provision a new adaptive SAP system

You can manually deploy a new virtual machine or use one of the Azure templates in the quickstart repository. It contains templates for SAP NetWeaver ASCS, SAP NetWeaver application servers, and the database. You can also use these templates to provision new hosts as part of a system copy/clone etc.

Note: To support customers on their journey into a cloud model (hybrid or entirely public cloud), SAP and Microsoft partnered to create an adapter that integrates the SAP management capabilities of LaMa with the IaaS advantages of Microsoft Azure.
