Hi All,
I was curious if someone could help me understand how SAS (9 or Viya) can be licensed under a docker based deployment model?
I'm trying to work out how a annual / CPU based license is enforced if folks are running multiple dokcer containers simultaneously.
Thanks in advance

Kindly get in touch with your SAS Account Executive since this is a commercial discussion.

Since server-based SAS is usually licensed along the number of CPU cores, the cores available on the system running the containers will be relevant. IMHO.

Thanks for the reply Kurt - but I would want to understand how:
If SAS is deployed inside the container (not simply code - but the actual SAS binaries) - SAS is abstracted from the underlying infrastructure even further (and lets assume it's probably also a VM).
And whilst we could limit the CPUs permitted in the container - we are at risk of running 1000 containers and going beyond a committed core count.
Thanks!

That's why I think the license would go along the number of cores available to the system hosting the containers.
We run SAS in a dedicated LPAR on a pSeries, where the # of CPU's is set according to our SAS license.
