Deploy SAS Viya 4 on Oracle Cloud

[Anvil]

Hi all,

I'd like to deploy SAS Viya 4 on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure but seems that there is not an official package.

I've seen there is a K8S package for AWS, GCP, and Azure and a generic package. 

Moreover I've seen the OpenShift as alternative but I know not is it is the correct way.

Could you please address me to right solution?

Thanks,

Only OpenShift, AWS, GCP and Azure are currently supported:

Host Machine and Cluster Requirements
SAS Viya runs in a Kubernetes cluster on multiple cloud platforms. At this time, only the cloud providers that are specified in Kubernetes Cluster Requirements are supported. Note that SAS does not support the on-premises Kubernetes services that are supplied by the public cloud providers.

SAS provides Limited Support for SAS Viya when it is deployed on a distribution of Kubernetes that is not listed here. See https://support.sas.com/en/technical-support/services-policies.html#k8s for the detailed support policy that applies to Kubernetes.

@gwootton  - So does that mean that currently there is no fully supported on-premise option for Viya 4 / 2021?  

[gwootton]

The addition of OpenShift support with the 2021.1.6 release gives us on-premise capability. The note about on-premise refers to things like Amazon EKS Anywhere.

Thanks and good to know. We are currently weighing up our Viya options and having an on-premise option is important for us.

@gwootton thanks. Could I use the K8S distribution and deploy it on a K8S VM on Oracle Cloud ? What kind of support SAS provide and what are the differences among other public cloud providers?

Thanks a lot,

[gwootton]

You can certainly try to deploy on an alternative Kubernetes distribution. The SAS support policy for such a deployment is available here:
https://support.sas.com/en/technical-support/services-policies.html#k8s

The supported providers are those that have gone through rigorous testing to confirm work as expected.
