Red Hat, March 24,2026
In this two-part blog, we will provide essential technical information about SAS Institute's SAS Viya platform, as well as a reference architecture for deploying SAS Viya on Red Hat OpenShift.
Also, make sure to take a look at part 2 of this blog, where we will discuss security, machine management and storage considerations. Let's start with a few introductory words before we get into the technical details.
Since the launch of the SAS Viya platform in 2020, SAS has offered a fully containerized analytic platform based on a cloud-native architecture. Due to the scale of the platform, SAS Viya requires Kubernetes as an underlying runtime environment and takes full advantage of the native benefits of this technology.
