About this Subscription
This learning subscription includes the training that you need to gain knowledge and practical experience in the area of deploying (installing and configuring) SAS Viya. SAS Viya deployments require knowledge of cloud-native technologies such as Kubernetes and wider containerized methodologies. Also, additional configuration work needs to be done at pre-installation and at post-installation (for example, configuring access to the third-party data sources, mirroring Viya software repositories, and using Infrastructure as code (IaC) scripts provided by SAS). There are several courses, beginning with upstream open-source Kubernetes before moving on to cloud platforms such as Microsoft Azure, AWS, Google Cloud Platform, and Red Hat OpenShift. Those wanting to deploy SAS Viya or those interested in learning the mechanisms and key decisions when deploying SAS Viya will benefit from this content.
Learn how to:
- Implement the recommended SAS Viya deployment process.
- Download Viya assets and software.
- Become familiar with the prerequisite steps before deploying Viya.
- Use SAS Mirror Manager and local image repositories.
- Use Kustomize and Lens during the deployment.
- Use the SAS Orchestration command and the manual deployment method with upstream open- source Kubernetes.
- Configure Viya to leverage an external Postgres instance for use as the SAS Infrastructure Data Server.
- Configure SAS/ACCESS engines to a third-party database and Hadoop.
- Perform an initial validation of the Viya environment
- Combine the use of Infrastructure as code and SAS deployment methods to deploy Viya to third-party cloud platforms including Microsoft Azure, Amazon AWS, Google Cloud Platform, and Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform.
- Deploy SAS Container Runtime instances into containerized technology in Microsoft's Azure Cloud.
- Deploy SAS Event Stream Processing.
