I'm delighted to announce our new SAS Viya Administration Checklist is available now on GitHub:

 

https://github.com/sassoftware/viya4-admin-checklist

 

This checklist has 67 administration tasks for SAS Viya 2020.1 and later, organized into initial and regular task lists. There is a suggested frequency for the regular tasks. You, as an IT administrator or a SAS administrator, should consider performing the tasks in these lists for the SAS Viya 2020.1 and later environments that you maintain. Perform all tasks that are relevant to your environment to keep your SAS Viya deployment operating at its best over the long term.

This new checklist has been in development for a long time. The GEL Administration team and a select group of technical experts across the company have all worked on creating it, and we're so happy to make it available in this first release. But it is a living project, and we will add to it over time. If you see something you can improve, reach out to me or any of my GEL admin team colleagues, or raise a an issue in the GitHub project and let us know what you'd like to see changed, added or fixed. You can even contribute your own tasks.

We have previously published similar checklists as PDF documents for earlier versions of SAS:

 

Let me know what you think!  

Acknowledgements

 

THANK YOU to all my SAS colleagues who contributed their suggestions and thoughts over the past several months. Not every suggestion made it into this release. We still have all the ideas that didn’t make this first cut, and will use those suggestions – and new ones – to drive future updates to the project. It will grow!

 

A particular thank you to my GEL Administration team colleagues: @ScottMcCauley, @GerryNelson ,  @AjmalFarzam and @GillesChrzaszcz who all wrote up tasks for this checklist.

See you next time!

Brilliant to see! Thanks for providing to the community and it's even more brilliant to see it is a "live" checklist in GitHub too.

 

Well done to all involved.

Awesome project, thanks to you and the team for compiling this, much appreciated!
