You can use it for your on-premise extension scenarios in which you connect SAP Cloud Platform applications to the ABAP system on AWS.

Details how to connect and use the AWS image are described in this PDF document. We briefly summarize the most important points:

• Connect to the AWS instance using a Remote Desktop Client (on Windows start e.g. mstsc.exe). You can find the of your AWS front end instance by clicking on the instance name in your SAP Cloud Appliance Library account. Take the External IP of the front end instance and use the OS user Administrator with the master password you have specified before to log in with your remote desktop client.

• Connect to the ABAP system on the AWS instance with SAP GUI, you can use the already installed SAP GUI on the AWS front end instance. Start the SAP Logon and logon to the preconfigured system with Username as DEVELOPER and your master password. (Server name:abapci, System ID: A4H) add an ABAP system with following properties:

• To use the SAP HANA Cloud Connector, enter the URL https://abapci.dummy.nodomain:8443/ and log on with user Administrator with the master password.

• On the AWS front end instance, there is also an Eclipse Luna version installed and available on the desktop. The Eclipse instance is already prepared for SAP Cloud Platform and you can use it to develop SAP Cloud Platform applications.
