   An SAP HANA deployment requires the lowest possible network latency between the application servers and the database. The VMs are planned for a single Azure region. You need to design the placement to meet the latency requirement while also allowing for future scaling of the application tier. What should you do?

   • ADeploy the application servers in a different region to balance load.
   • BUse a single large subnet for all VMs to reduce routing hops.
   • CPlace all VMs in a single proximity placement group and deploy the application servers in an availability set within that group.
   • DUse Accelerated Networking on all VMs and rely on the virtual network's low-latency routing.

   You are designing the virtual network for an SAP deployment that must support multiple environments (development, test, production) in the same Azure subscription. The security team requires that production and non-production environments be isolated from each other, but both must be able to reach a shared management subnet. You need to minimize administrative overhead while meeting the isolation requirement. What should you do?

   • AUse Azure Firewall in a hub VNet and route all traffic through it.
   • BCreate a separate subscription for each environment.
   • CUse a single virtual network with separate subnets for each environment and NSGs to block traffic between them.
   • DCreate a separate virtual network for each environment and peer them to a shared management virtual network.

   For an SAP workload, which network latency measurement is most commonly used to validate that the application and database tiers meet performance requirements?

   • ADNS resolution time for the SAP FQDN
   • BBandwidth utilization on the internet-facing load balancer
   • CDisk I/O latency on the database server
   • DRound-trip time (RTT) between the SAP application server and the database server
