Note: As of October 4, 2021, SAS no longer supports the SAS Grid on the AWS Cloud Quick Start. After this date, there is no expectation that this QuickStart will be functional. Rather, it will be available as a reference architecture only. We recommend moving to the new SAS Viya for cloud solutions.
This Quick Start deploys and configures SAS Grid on the AWS Cloud.
SAS Grid is a shared, centrally managed analytics computing environment that features workload balancing and management, high availability, and fast processing. A SAS Grid environment in the AWS Cloud provides the elasticity and agility to scale your resources as needed.
This Quick Start bootstraps the infrastructure for a SAS Grid cluster by provisioning Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) instances for SAS Grid, SAS Metadata Server, and SAS mid-tier components. It also deploys SAS Grid into this infrastructure and sets up DDN Cloud Edition for Lustre (or) IBM Spectrum Scale, which provides a shared directory for the grid.
The AWS CloudFormation templates included with the Quick Start automate the following:
- Deploying SAS Grid into a new VPC
- Deploying SAS Grid into an existing VPC
You can also use the AWS CloudFormation templates as a starting point for your own implementation.
For architectural details, best practices, step-by-step instructions, and customization options, see the deployment guide.
