The relationship between Process Orchestrator, building blocks, Cloud Management, and external systems.
A SAS runtime instance contains the product capabilities that execute work: the Composers, data and automation capabilities, collaboration, dashboards, and ultimately Process Orchestrator.
The SAS Cloud Management Platform is a separate management and service-delivery plane above runtime instances. It is intended to manage organizations, tenants, environments, access, releases, lifecycle, usage, billing, AI credits, and partner or MSP scenarios.
SAS connects to the systems and data the customer already has. Those systems remain responsible for their own core function; SAS adds the structured integration, process, control, and governance context around them.
Policy and governance, AI control, audit and compliance, and security and access are platform-wide concerns. They are not isolated add-ons to one Composer.
