This article explains how SAS Viya Workbench on AWS accelerates analytics innovation by providing a unified, cloud-based development environment for data scientists and analysts.

  • Split-plane architecture separates SAS-managed control plane from customer-owned data plane
  • Supports Python, R, and SAS programming languages in single cloud environment
  • Integrates with Amazon S3, EMR, and Redshift for elastic scalability

  • Built-in Git support, prebuilt templates, and browser-based IDE boost productivity
  • Auto-scaling compute resources based on workload demands
