After this, you will see a screen to deploy the SAP S4/HANA. I will deploy it in GCP, but the process is same and simple for AWS and Azure as well.
For GCP, you need to create a GCP Project, and GCP VPC. Then download the GCP Project jason file so that SAP portal can connect to GCP and create the necessary SAP S4/HANA VMs.
After you click create, the deployment will begin. It will take at least 90 min to build it all.
