This course provides a comprehensive overview of SAS Viya deployment preparation. Participants will learn to access my.sas.portal, download deployment assets, and use tools such as YQ, OpenLens, and K9s. The course also covers cadence and version concepts, architecture-related decisions, pre-requisites validation, Viya ARK, installer permissions, and security requirements. Additionally, it delves into the deployment process, steps, and compares deployment methods. Finally, it explains workload placement strategies and examines the practical implications of Kubernetes permissions in the context of a SAS Viya deployment.
