SAS Viya Workbench Dataplane Topology
CloudFormation template for provisioning a SAS Workbench DataPlane that adheres to customer information policies.
The AMI provisioned using this template adhere to the following customer information policies:
- Customer data collected: email address (CustomerAdminEmail) will be sent to SAS and used to contact the buyer in regards to the SAS Viya Workbench
The AMI provisions IAM policies to provision the necessary components to build and EKS Cluster along with Node pool groups. More details are found in the documentation.
Warning: This will create appropriate IAM roles for proper deployment of SAS Viya Workbench in EKS Cluster.
CloudFormation Template (CFT)
AWS CloudFormation templates are JSON or YAML-formatted text files that simplify provisioning and management on AWS. The templates describe the service or application architecture you want to deploy, and AWS CloudFormation uses those templates to provision and configure the required services (such as Amazon EC2 instances or Amazon RDS DB instances). The deployed application and associated resources are called a "stack."
Version release notes
Updated CFT and AMI to add encryption to EBS volumes by default

Integrated analytics have streamlined healthcare risk adjustment and improved visit targeting
Reviewed on Dec 02, 2025
Review from a verified AWS customer
What is our primary use case?
My main use case for SAS Viya Platform is analytics on risk adjustment in the healthcare field.
One of the specific examples of how I use SAS Viya Platform for risk adjustment analytics in healthcare is to determine the population of members that are more likely to not get an annual visit with their primary care physician. That is one of the use cases and how we follow up with them. This is also used in a predictive analytics sense where we need to provide and generate a list of members for whom we have to chase and get an EMR or a chart. So mostly in the predictive analytics area.
What is most valuable?
The best features that SAS Viya Platform offers are the easy visualization of the results, which stands out for me, and also the ease of using the AI agents to describe the problem and come up with the solution.
The visualization and AI agent features of SAS Viya Platform help me in my day-to-day work. For example, one aspect of the visualization is how by looking at the graphs, you can determine which area, such as the plan area in the healthcare insurance field, we need to focus on and where we are falling short. It is easily visualized, mostly for the marketing team in the provider area that needs to concentrate there.
SAS Viya Platform has positively impacted my organization. Previously, the team had SAS developers and the data was fed into a different visualization tool such as Tableau or Power BI. This eliminates the need for that.
Eliminating the need for separate visualization tools has greatly affected my team's workflow because it is just one integrated tool, one integrated platform. You do not have to worry about the connections to Tableau, generating the output, and if there is an issue with a live connection on Tableau, then the visualization does not show up, and that is the end of it. We would need to wait for a resolution from another team, and this eliminates the need for that.
What needs improvement?
I cannot think of any improvements for SAS Viya Platform from the top of my head, although users might have suggestions.
I would add that some users need more training in SAS and SAS Viya Platform. An AI assist, such as a live assist, would be helpful for them.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using SAS Viya Platform for three years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
SAS Viya Platform is stable.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
The scalability of SAS Viya Platform is pretty good. We have seen that it has been scalable, especially because with each year, there is an increasing number of members in the healthcare insurance, and with the member increase, you are also going to see the claim population increase. We have not had a problem, and it is because it is on the cloud, it scales quite well.
How are customer service and support?
Apart from the initial setup, we have not used customer support a lot, but it was pretty good.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I previously used a different solution before SAS Viya Platform. It was legacy systems, SAS on Unix, and then Tableau.
How was the initial setup?
My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing for SAS Viya Platform was smooth. I did not have any hiccups, and I do not have a say on the pricing.
What was our ROI?
I have seen a return on investment with SAS Viya Platform in the form of money saved, as this is scalable and on the cloud, whereas previously we had to pay for space and on-premises servers.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing for SAS Viya Platform was smooth. I did not have any hiccups, and I do not have a say on the pricing.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
Before choosing SAS Viya Platform, I did evaluate other options, but it was not a total solution. It involved a process where part of the development had to be done on AWSÂ , PySpark coding, and then the results were imported into one of the visualization tools such as Quicksight or Tableau.
What other advice do I have?
I would advise others looking into using SAS Viya Platform to go ahead if their budget allows. I have rated this product an eight out of ten.
