SAP HANA certified and non-certified instances

AWS has worked closely with SAP to test and certify Amazon EC2 instance types for SAP on AWS solutions.

Previous generation Amazon EC2 instances for SAP HANA are fully supported and these instance types retain the same features and functionality. We recommend using the current generation Amazon EC2 instance for new SAP HANA implementations or migrations.

All current and previous generation Amazon EC2 instance types for SAP HANA can be used for running non-production workloads. For more information, see SAP Note 2271345.
