Hello Friends,
We are planing to move our SAP environment to Microsoft Azure Cloud environment.
I found the document - SAP NetWeaver on Windows Azure Virtual Machine Implementation Guide V2_0 on below link
As of this document i come to know that we have two scenarios to use SAP on Azure.
1. Azure-Only deployment,
2. Hybrid-IT,
In first case Azure-Only deployment :- Azure-Only deployments in this document is defined as complete SAP landscapes are running exclusively in Azure and not on-premise. Azure-Only configurations are not supported for production SAP systems or configurations where SAP STMS or other on-premise resources need to be used between SAP systems hosted on Azure and resources residing on-premise.
In second case Hybrid-IT :- Hybrid-IT deployments of SAP systems where Azure Virtual Machines running SAP systems are members of an on-premise domain are supported for production SAP systems. Hybrid-IT configurations are supported for deploying parts or complete SAP landscapes into Azure. Even running the complete SAP landscape in Azure requires having those VMs being part of on-premise domain and ADS. The term ‘Hybrid’ is rooted in the fact that there is a cross-premise connectivity between on-premise and Azure. Plus the fact that the VMs in Azure are part of the on-premise Active Directory.
Can we move all the SAP systems DEV, QAS and PRD to cloud with the STMS ?
or we have to keep our production environment in On-Premise(normal - non cloud) environment ?
Please let me know if there is any other way available to move whole environment with production to cloud,
Your answer will be highly appreciated
Thanks& regards,
