The SAP S/4HANA trial system offers a complete demo guide, examples
of typical installation and infrastructure features and up-and-running
landscapes to mirror real-life scenarios.

SAP currently offers to host the trial system on the infrastructure of two
cloud providers: Amazon Web Service or Microsoft Azure. An account
with one of these providers is required to setup the trial system. Hourly
costs charged by the cloud providers ranges from ~ 3.00$ to 4.00$
depending on the system parameters.
