- Creates a VPC and Power Virtual Server workspace, interconnects them, and configures OS network management services (SQUID proxy, NTP, NFS, and DNS) using Ansible Galaxy collection roles from the ibm.power_linux_sap collection.
- Creates and configures **one HANA instance and one NetWeaver instance** with **RHEL** OS distribution. Creates a private subnet for SAP communication for the entire landscape.
- Optionally configures OS network management services (NTP, NFS, and DNS services) using Ansible Galaxy Collection from [IBM](https://galaxy.ansible.com/ui/repo/published/ibm/power_linux_sap/): `power_linux_sap`

The SAP-ready PowerVS variation of the Power Virtual Server for SAP HANA creates a basic and expandable SAP system landscape. The variation builds on the foundation of the VPC landing zone and Power Virtual Server with VPC landing zone. PowerVS instances for SAP HANA and SAP NetWeaver are deployed and pre-configured for SAP installation.

Services such as DNS, NTP, and NFS running in VPC and provided by Power Virtual Server with VPC landing zone are leveraged.

The transit gateway provides the network bridge between the IBM Power infrastructure and the IBM Cloud® VPC and public internet.

The resulting SAP landscape leverages services such as Activity Tracker, Cloud Object Storage, Key Management from the VPC landing zone and the network connectivity configuration provided by Power Virtual Server with VPC landing zone. Additionally, it will also setup SCC Workload Protection if the feature was enabled during the landing zone deployment.
