In a conversation with Benjamin Houttuin we learn some details on the AWS / SAP partnership to provide SAP cloud services globally. We discuss the first steps with HANA workloads, followed by full SAP landscapes. With SAP’s launch of the business Technology Platform on hyperscalers we learn how AWS enable BTP, by providing the necessary infrastructure services to enable the business services offered in BTP. And in the last 3 years RISE projects are now implemented on AWS and soon to come S/4HANA public cloud (GROW). Benjamin further explains about sovereign cloud plans in Europe as well as new AI initiatives to further enable the SAP AI roadmap.
