ArcGIS for Server in the Cloud

Transcription

1 Esri Developer Summit March 8 11, 2016 Palm Springs, CA ArcGIS for Server in the Cloud Cherry Lin, Nikhil Shampur, and Derek Law March 10, 2016

2 Quick Survey 1. How many attendees are using the Cloud today? 2. How many plan on using the Cloud in 2016? 3. Which Cloud provider are you using? 4. Which Cloud OS, Windows or Linux? 5. What is your role in your organization? A

3 Agenda Cloud technology and benefits ArcGIS for Server and the Cloud - Server GIS pattern - Web GIS pattern Availability Scalability Summary for Server

4 What is the Cloud? Technology paradigm: shared processing resources and data to computers and other devices on demand Organizations store and process their data in 3 rd party data centers Rapidly provisioned and released with minimal management effort for Server Your own physical machines 3 rd party Data Center A

5 Benefits of the Cloud Rapid deployment of software, machine instances Easy to set up and administer No maintenance of physical hardware Lower cost of ownership Scalable

6 ArcGIS for Server and the Cloud ArcGIS for Server can be installed and run in the Cloud - Infrastructure as a Service ArcGIS Web Adaptor Your Servers run here: Portal for ArcGIS for Server ArcGIS Server (GIS Server) ArcGIS Data Store or Geodatabase A

7 ArcGIS for Server Support for Cloud Providers Etc

8 ArcGIS for Server Special Tooling We provide special machine images on

9 ArcGIS for Server Supports Two Patterns 1. Server GIS Infrastructure 2. Web GIS Infrastructure

10 Server GIS Infrastructure Pattern System of Record Supports publishing of authoritative data from geodatabases Load balancer Server ArcGIS Web Adaptor (optional) Enterprise geodatabase ArcGIS Server (GIS Server) Geodatabase

11 Web GIS Pattern in Your Own Infrastructure System of Record Supports hosted data as well as the app and collaboration infrastructure Does not replace Server GIS infrastructure Load balancer Portal for ArcGIS ArcGIS Web Adaptor Hosting server (ArcGIS Server) Portal for ArcGIS ArcGIS Data Store ArcGIS Server (GIS Server) ArcGIS Data Store

12 Getting Started with ArcGIS for Server in the Cloud Get Cloud subscription - Amazon or Azure Get ArcGIS for Server software license download from My Esri - Get ArcGIS Server Cloud Builder download from My Esri for Server

13 ArcGIS for Server in the Cloud Strategy Esri provides images for Amazon and Azure Esri provides deployment tools - ArcGIS for Server Cloud Builder

14 At 10.4, Amazon Images are Public in Regular AWS Regions AWS = Amazon Web Services Available to all AWS users No need to call Esri Customer Service Use Esri authorization files GovCloud US Federal Gov Contact Esri Professional Service China Region Contact Esri Customer Service

15 Setting Up Server GIS Infrastructure Amazon - Use ArcGIS Server Cloud Builder for Amazon, or - Use Amazon Cloud Formation Azure - Use ArcGIS Server Cloud Builder for Azure

16 ArcGIS for Server Cloud Builder Lightweight desktop application Enables you to configure and deploy ArcGIS for Server in either Amazon or Azure Wizard-driven user experience

17 Demo ArcGIS Server Cloud Builder for Azure

18 Cloud Builder Take Aways Best way to get started Used for launching deployments Powerful database options For Amazon and Azure Download from My Esri

19 Setting Up Web GIS Infrastructure Amazon - Use Amazon Cloud Formation Azure - Use ArcGIS Server Cloud Builder

20 Amazon Cloud Formation Enables you to create and provision AWS infrastructure deployments predictably and repeatedly You create a template that describes all the AWS resources that you want - CloudFormation takes care of provisioning and configuring those resources for you

21 Demos Setting Up Web GIS on Amazon and Azure

22 High Availability in the Cloud Planned maintenance - Cloud Provider making updates within their SLA that causes machine level downtime Unplanned maintenance - Hardware failures in data centers Since both are out of your direct control, you need to design and plan upfront for high availability if your application demands it

23 Availability The probability that a system will work as required when required Not available with Cloud Builder Create one image (Server site + file data) - Launch multiple instances from it - Silo architecture Every machine is an independent clone, no co-operation Use load balancer Load balancer ArcGIS Server site 1 (GIS Server) ArcGIS Server site 2 (GIS Server) ArcGIS Server site 3 (GIS Server) A

24 Availability To support data editing workflows, need highly available database that every Server site can see Load balancer ArcGIS Server site 1 (GIS Server) ArcGIS Server site 2 (GIS Server) ArcGIS Server site 3 (GIS Server) Geodatabase

25 Server GIS High Availability In Amazon, supported - We provide configuration templates for this deployment - Checklist - Data use RDS or local data - Server directories use AWS Auto-Recovery - Configuration store at 10.4, use Dynamo DB For Azure, on the road ahead for future support

26 Command Line Scripts to Create Cloud Formation Stack Python (10.3.1) PowerShell ( & 10.4)

27 Demos Server GIS HA with Amazon Dynamo DB

28 Cloud Platforms: Designed to Scale Software scales until bottleneck Easily add hardware to cloud ArcGIS Server designed to scale - Since 10.1, new Server architecture more optimal

29 Single Cluster Mode Introduced in ArcGIS for Server as an opt-in With ArcGIS 10.4 for Server it is the default for new and upgraded sites (unless the site being upgraded has multiple clusters)

30 Single cluster mode Configuration Store (shared)

31 Road Ahead Better leverage Cloud storage Better use of Auto scaling Supporting specialized Servers, like GeoAnalytics Post deployment workflow support - Adding machines to an existing site

32 Demos Azure sneak peak

33 Summary Cloud technology and benefits ArcGIS for Server and the Cloud - Server GIS pattern - Web GIS pattern Availability Scalability Summary for Server
