According to the SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud Appliance Library, the recommended (and only) AWS instance type for running SAP HANA Developer Edition 1.0 SPS08 is m2.4xlarge; however, according to Amazon, this is a previous generation instance type. Per Amazon's upgrade path, the current generation upgrade from M2 is R3.
In addition, the m2.4xlarge instance type is costly for those who would like to expand their personal training experience beyond the free developer account on the HANA Cloud Platform.
Will the R3 instance types (specifically r3.large or r3.xlarge) be made available for running SAP HANA Developer Edition?
