SUSE Linux Enterprise Server for SAP Applications is the operating system endorsed by SAP to run mission-critical SAP applications and SAP HANA databases on AWS.
Overview
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server for SAP Applications (SLES for SAP) is a powerful operating system designed to run SAP applications on the Amazon Web Services (AWS) platform. It is the leading Linux platform for SAP S/4HANA and SAP NetWeaver, trusted by 90% of SAP HANA deployments. SLES for SAP prioritizes business continuity and security, providing comprehensive protection for SAP platforms and projects from start to finish.
A Modern, Simplified OS Foundation for SAP We've modernized the entire underlying OS stack to simplify life for SAP Basis teams, allowing you to focus on the application layer.
- Modernized Management: Day-to-day administration is now intuitive with the Cockpit web console as the default interface.
- Standardized, Powerful Automation: We now provide and support curated Ansible Roles to automate key SAP deployment and configuration tasks. This release also streamlines complex high-availability setups with automation for SAP HANA cluster deployments, significantly reducing configuration time and the risk of human error.
- Simplified Security: SLES for SAP applications 16 includes full support for SELinux, delivering robust, industry-standard security without the traditional complexity. Common SAP-specific exceptions are handled by default, removing a major barrier to adoption and ensuring a seamless transition for teams with existing SELinux expertise.
Unmatched Lifecycle and Resilience for Long-Term Planning SAP S/4HANA transformations are long-term investments. Your OS should be, too!
The "First-Ready" Linux Platform SLES for SAP applications 16 is backed by an industry-leading 16-year total lifecycle. This makes it the definitive "first-ready" platform: the only enterprise Linux that guarantees support through the critical Y2038 transition without requiring disruptive, forced upgrades.
A New, Simpler Lifecycle for SAP Planning We're also introducing a more predictable, flexible support model. We will move to a yearly minor release cadence, and every minor release will include five years of support by default (with the final release supported for up to ten years with additional Long Term Support subscription). With four years of overlap between releases, this gives your organization unprecedented flexibility to schedule maintenance and upgrades for your SAP systems on your own terms.
Resilient-by-Design Foundation This release is engineered to maximize uptime for your SAP services.
- Industry-Leading Live Patching: Apply critical security updates to the kernel and userspace libraries without service downtime or reboots for more than a year. This is now integrated in the core OS and included with your subscription.
- Instant Rollback and Recovery: Instantly undo system changes - including patches, upgrades, and configuration updates - for rapid recovery and complete system integrity.
- Uncompromising Security: From a verifiably secure software supply chain with reproducible builds to Confidential Computing for running SAP workloads in secure hardware enclaves, your most sensitive data is protected.
Built on the SUSE Linux 16 Core SUSE Linux for SAP applications 16 inherits all the core innovations of the main SLES 16 platform, including a verifiably secure software supply chain with reproducible builds and proactive hardening with post-quantum cryptography.
This subscription provides SUSE Linux Enterprise Server for SAP applications with Priority Support directly from SUSE.
IMPORTANT NOTICE: Critical features to run SAP are only in SLES for SAP, but not in regular SLES, including HA support and 3 years longer lifecycle.
Highlights
- Trusted by SAP Users & Endorsed by SAP: The most popular Linux platform for SAP HANA and NetWeaver, trusted by 90% of HANA deployments and 70% of NetWeaver applications on Linux.
