Which SAS Viya applications are available on Azure Market place. If I want to use SAS Studio from SAS Viya using Azure Marketplace then whether the application will be installed in my Azure Resource Group like other resources for example Databricks or do we need to perform some customized tasks in order to run SAS Studio available in Azure Resource Group.

Hello Rich Main,

I watched your video  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kHYaj5qiPow  but you skipped the bit I'm stuck on. You say "in the spirit of a good cooking show I've already got a deployment up and running". That's where I'm stuck. How did you get a deployment up and running? I filled in the boxes on Azure as you instruct and supplied my credit card details. Now how do I deploy? Where do I find SAS Studio or a SAS editor page, I'm reasonably fluent with SAS 9. to write my programs in Viya now.  So Where did that blue screen come from and which details from my Azure entries am I going to use. Might seem simple to you but Microsoft techs don't have a clue and SAS techs just say not our problem, look at the documentation. But the documentation does not come up with a solution.

(ps your email in the video doesn't work)

@Lillioja 

I followed the instructions in the following link for my SAS Viya deployment on Azure https://go.documentation.sas.com/doc/en/viyaakscdc/v_001/dplyviya0cld0aks/p01dmkd9w5m7lnn10uxnpsjlrc...

There are many reasons for deployment failures. So, please share the specific error info you received if you have encountered deployment failures.

"Tip:You can always view the URL in the Azure portal. Go to your SAS Viya managed application, and then click Parameters and Outputs. In the Outputs section, locate sasViyaUrl under Names. The value for sasViyaUrl is the URL."

I have a subscription in Azure to SAS Viya pay-as-you-go. When I click on managed applications it says I don't have any.

please follow the instruction here: https://go.documentation.sas.com/doc/en/viyaakscdc/v_001/dplyviya0cld0aks/p01dmkd9w5m7lnn10uxnpsjlrc...

myviyaapp.australiasoutheast.cloudapp.azure.com

mysasviya.australiasoutheast.cloudapp.azure.com

This is the result when I enter those two strings into the URL bar

Sign in to SAS Viya

I can only find a DNS by trying to open a brand new subscription.

I tried to sign in as you see.

Rich Main, you said its as easy as 1,2,3. I'm stuck on 2!

[rich_sas]

Hi @Lillioja! I'm sorry you are having difficulties. Hopefully I can help.

Please confirm that your subscription matches the documented requirements:

https://go.documentation.sas.com/doc/en/viyaakscdc/v_001/viyaaksfaq/n09skbpwwk7m4vn122eufqzw4mgr.htm... 

Specifically, you must deploy into a region that supports availability zones:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/reliability/availability-zones-service-support#azure-regions...

It appears that you might be deploying into a region without availability zones? Are you using Australia Southeast? I'm guessing that from the URL you shared. It looks like you may need to try Australia East.

Best regards,

Rich

I restarted from scratch

Hi @Lillioja - Another user has had this issue before. Perhaps you could review your log events and check whether or not their solution works for you.

[Lillioja]

Thank you, that got things started.

But I got an error message see below.

[DQM]

The error is at least partially caused by "'Microsoft.Compute/EncryptionAtHost' feature is not enabled for this subscription"

So, this feature needs to be enabled. 

Execute the following command to register the feature for your subscription

az feature register --namespace Microsoft.Compute --name EncryptionAtHost

That worked, Thanks
