Hi, I am desperately looking for a Disaster Recovery solution for SAS Viya 4 on Azure recommended and supported by SAS. Any comments, instruction, recommendation, papers or documentation will be more than welcome.

Thanks!

Hi @PierreDupuisD ,

have you had a chance to look into the documentation: https://documentation.sas.com/doc/en/itopscdc/v_056/calbr/titlepage.htm

This is what SAS supports, which has an open side to the kind of infrastructure and services to use, and you could build your own around it.

If you have specific questions, feel free to address them!

Engaging with the DR specialists in your organisation is a good starting point. A DR assessment should be done to see which DR category SAS Viya 4 on Azure falls in to based on your organisation's DR rules. The more business-critical SAS is, the higher the DR standard and category should be chosen. Once that is agreed you can work towards meeting that standard using resources like the link @JuanS_OCS has provided.

Unfortunately there is no OOTB solution from SAS for DR so a DIY approach is necessary. We are in a similar position to you at the moment but with on-prem SAS 9.4. It is a lot more work than you might expect!
