About SAS Grid Manager
SAS Grid Manager helps organizations outcompete by outcomputing, meeting peak computing demands reliably and cost-effectively through a flexible, centrally managed grid computing environment. It gives IT the flexibility to meet service level commitments by reassigning computing resources to peak workloads or changing business demands, with a central point of control to administer policies, programs, queues, and job prioritization across users and applications. In a grid computing environment with multiple servers, jobs can run on the best available resource, and if a server fails, jobs can transition seamlessly to another server. IT staff can perform maintenance on specific servers or introduce additional computing resources without interrupting analytics jobs or disrupting the business. SAS Grid Manager also supports diverse analytics ecosystems by managing jobs in SAS and other languages, helping analytics run quickly.

Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS)
Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) is a fully managed container orchestration service. Customers such as Duolingo, Samsung, GE, and Cook Pad use ECS to run their most sensitive and mission-critical applications because of its security, reliability, and scalability. ECS is a great choice to run containers for several reasons. First, you can choose to run your ECS clusters using AWS Fargate, which is serverless compute for containers. Fargate removes the need to provision and manage servers, lets you specify and pay for resources per application, and improves security through application isolation by design. Second, ECS is used extensively within Amazon to power services such as Amazon SageMaker, AWS Batch, Amazon Lex, and Amazon.com’s recommendation engine, ensuring ECS is tested extensively for security, reliability, and availability.
