AWS and SAP have been collaborating since SAP became a customer in 2008.

AWS has been supporting SAP workloads for customers longer than any other cloud provider (since 2011), has more customers (5,000+ across all segments) than any other cloud provider, is certified to support the largest public cloud (native) SAP S/4HANA and BW/4HANA deployments, and has more SAP HANA cloud native certifications than other cloud providers.
