How we research and review these pages
You have an SAP environment on Azure.
Your on premises network uses a 1 Gbps ExpressRoute circuit to connect to Azure. Private peering is enabled on the circuit. The default route (0.0.0.0/0) from the on-premises network is advertised.
Whenever backups are copied to Azure Blob storage, the ExpressRoute circuit is saturated.
You need to resolve the issue without modifying the ExpressRoute circuit. The solution must minimize administrative effort.
What should you do?
Correct Answer:
A
Explanation
SAP Database Migration Option with System Move is the standard approach for migrating SAP NetWeaver from on-premises to Azure when you need to change the database version or platform. DMO handles the full system move including the database upgrade from SQL Server 2016 to 2019. This method preserves the SAP configuration while allowing database version changes, making it more efficient than manual migration approaches.
You plan to implement a deployment of SAP NetWeaver on Azure. The deployment will be hosted on virtual machines that run SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES).
You need to identify which virtual machine size to use to meet the following requirements:
* The size must be based on the SAPS rating of the deployment.
* The virtual machines must be certified to run the deployment.
What should you use?
Correct Answer:
C
Explanation
When deploying an Azure VM with UEFI-based boot architecture, you select the specific image during deployment. The image choice determines the firmware type and boot architecture. SLES 15 SP5 for SAP Applications images in Azure are available with UEFI support. Choosing the correct image ensures the VM boots with UEFI rather than legacy BIOS, which is important for modern security and compatibility.
You have an SAP on Azure landscape.
You configure SAP Central Services (SCS) to write logs to Windows Event Viewer.
You need to collect the logs in Azure Monitor by using a Data Collection Rule (DCR). The solution must prevent the logs from being sent via the internet.
Which two resources should you configure? Each correct answer presents part of the solution.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.
Correct Answer:
A, E
Explanation
SAP Database Migration Option with System Move requires you to start Software Update Manager on the on-premises application server. This is the source system that orchestrates the migration process. SUM on the on-premises side manages the export of the database and application data, then coordinates with the target Azure environment to complete the migration. Starting SUM on the Azure side would be incorrect because it needs access to the source data.
You have an Azure virtual machine that runs SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SlES). The virtual machine hosts a highly available deployment of SAP HANA.
You need to validate whether Accelerated Networking is operational for the virtual machine.
What should you use?
Correct Answer:
D
Explanation
Check for activity on the VF (virtual function) with the ethtool -S eth0 | grep vf_ command. If you receive output similar to the following sample output, accelerated networking is enabled and working.
vf_rx_packets: 992956
vf_rx_bytes: 2749784180
vf_tx_packets: 2656684
vf_tx_bytes: 1099443970
vf_tx_dropped: 0
Accelerated Networking is now enabled for your VM.

Note: This question is part of a series of questions that present the same scenario. Each question in the series contains a unique solution that might meet the stated goals. Some question sets might have more than one correct solution, while others might not have a correct solution.
After you answer a question in this section, you will NOT be able to return to it. As a result, these questions will not appear in the review screen.
You have a complex SAP environment that has both ABAP- and Java-based systems. The current on-premises landscapes are based on SAP NetWeaver 7.0 (Unicode and Non-Unicode) running on Windows Server and Microsoft SQL Server.
You need to migrate the SAP environment to a HANA-certified Azure environment.
Solution: You deploy a new environment to Azure that uses SAP NetWeaver 7.4. You export the databases from the on-premises environment, and then you import the databases into the Azure environment.
Does this meet the goal?
Correct Answer:
B
You have an Azure subscription.
You plan to deploy an SAP production landscape on Azure
You need to select a support plan. The solution must meet the following requirements:
* Respond to critical impact incidents within one hour.
* Minimize costs.
What should you choose?
Correct Answer:
B
Explanation
Azure Site Recovery does not support replication of VMs with Ultra disk storage. The Ultra disk type needs to be changed to a different disk type such as Premium SSD to enable Site Recovery replication. The other configurations including Generation 2, 4 TB size, and double encryption are all supported by Site Recovery. Changing the disk type to a compatible option like Premium SSD allows you to use Site Recovery for VM replication.

FAQ
AZ-120 Exam FAQ
Common questions about the exam itself
What background do I need before attempting AZ-120?
Microsoft strongly recommends you hold an Azure Administrator Associate certification (AZ-104) before taking AZ-120. You should have hands-on experience deploying and managing Azure infrastructure and a working knowledge of SAP applications such as S/4HANA, NetWeaver, and HANA databases.
How difficult is AZ-120 compared to other Azure certifications?
AZ-120 is a specialty-level exam that assumes you already work with SAP on Azure. It is more demanding than Associate-level exams because it requires deep technical knowledge of both Azure services and SAP architecture, not just foundational cloud skills.
What is the most challenging domain in AZ-120?
Most candidates find the high availability and disaster recovery domain most difficult because it requires understanding complex replication, clustering, and failover mechanisms specific to SAP workloads. Hands-on lab experience with Azure Site Recovery and HANA replication is essential preparation.
How long should I prepare for AZ-120?
Preparation typically takes 4 to 12 weeks depending on your existing SAP and Azure experience. If you already hold AZ-104 and have worked with SAP systems, you may prepare in 4 to 6 weeks. Without either background, plan for 8 to 12 weeks of study and lab work.
What happens on exam day for AZ-120?
You have 100 minutes to answer 40 questions delivered as multiple choice, multiple response, case studies, and drag-and-drop items. You can take the exam online proctored from home or at a Pearson VUE test centre. Passing requires a scaled score of 700 out of 1000.
What are the retake and rescheduling rules for AZ-120?
If you fail, you can retake the exam after waiting 24 hours and must pay the full USD 165 fee again. You can reschedule your exam at no charge if you do so more than 24 hours before your appointment. Canceling or missing your exam within 24 hours forfeits your fee.
How long is the AZ-120 certification valid and how do I renew it?
The AZ-120 certification is valid for 1 year from the date you pass. You can renew it free of charge by completing an online assessment on Microsoft Learn within 6 months of your certification expiry date.
What job role does AZ-120 certification support?
AZ-120 is designed for Azure infrastructure architects and SAP system administrators responsible for designing, deploying, and maintaining SAP workloads on Microsoft Azure. It validates skills for roles such as SAP on Azure solution architect and SAP infrastructure engineer.
How does AZ-120 fit into the Azure certification path?
AZ-120 is a standalone specialty certification and does not require other certifications beyond the recommended AZ-104. It sits alongside other Azure specialty certifications like AZ-140 (Azure Virtual Desktop) and AZ-220 (Azure IoT Developer) and does not lead to an Expert-level credential.
Does AZ-120 require knowledge of specific SAP products?
Yes. The exam assumes you understand SAP S/4HANA, NetWeaver, and HANA databases and how they run on Azure infrastructure. You should know how to size, deploy, and manage these workloads plus integrate them with Azure services like networking, storage, and monitoring.
