Base ArcGIS Enterprise on one instance

Provision a base ArcGIS Enterprise deployment on one Amazon Web Service instance.

This template will provision an ArcGIS Enterprise deployment that includes Portal for ArcGIS, a GIS Server site (set as the portal's hosting server), ArcGIS Data Store (which will create a relational and tile cache data store and you can optionally direct the template to create a spatiotemporal big data store), and ArcGIS Web Adaptor on one AWS instance. It will set up an architecture as shown in the graphic below.

To deploy this template, follow these steps:

  • Create an S3 bucket in your AWS account to store Esri authorization files and your SSL certificate file.
    • Create an S3 bucket in your AWS account. This bucket is called DeploymentBucket in the Parameters in the sample template.
    • Upload your Portal for ArcGIS license file and ArcGIS GIS Server license file to the DeploymentBucket.
    • Obtain the domain for your ArcGIS Enterprise deployment and an SSL certificate file issued to your domain name.
    • Upload the SSL certificate file to the DeploymentBucket.
    • Allocate an ElasticIP in the Classic VPC in the AWS region where you want to create your stack.
    • Map the domain name to the Elastic IP you created, for example, through CNAME mapping.

  • Run the template.
    Click Launch Stack for this template. There are a number of properties in the Parameters object that you can set when launching the stack using the template, such as the following:
    • BDSInstances: AWS instance for the spatiotemporal data store. Pick 0 or 1 to create AWS instance for spatiotemporal data store or not. The CloudFormation stack will create a auto-scaling group for these instances. You can modify the number of instances in this autoscaling group in AWS console after the stack is created. For example:
      • Pick 0 if you do not want spatiotemporal data store when creating base ArcGIS Enterprise stack.
      • If later on, you want spatiotemporal data store, go to AWS console, find the auto-scaling group that has your CF stack name and change the Desired, Min, Max, all three parameters to 1.
      • Pick 1 if you want spatiotemporal data store.
      • If you want more than 1 instance, always make sure or change the Desired, Min and Max number to 1 first. Then wait until the spatiotemporal data store is registered to your base ArcGIS Enterprise deployment's Hosting Server successfully. Then change the Desired, Min and Max number to the number you want, e.g. 3.
    • BDSInstanceType: The instance type you want your spatiotemporal data store to be.
    • DeploymentBucket: The S3 bucket you created. It has your Esri authorization files and SSL certificate file uploaded to it.
    • DriveSizeData: The size of the data drive. It's the D: drive on Windows and the /gisdata drive on Ubuntu Linux.
    • DriveSizeRoot: The size of the root drive. It's the C: drive on Windows and the root drive on Ubuntu Linux.
    • InstanceType: The instance type for the base ArcGIS Enterprise machine. This machine will be configured with the AWS autorecovery feature. If the instance crashes, AWS can restore it to the stage before it crashed in the same Availability Zone. Only certain instance types are allowed.
    • KeyName: The KeyPair to allow you remote access to the instance.
    • PortalLicenseFile: The authorization file for Portal for ArcGIS you obtained from Esri. It must be in the S3 deployment bucket.
    • RunAsUserPassword : This is the password for the account used to run the ArcGIS Server service. (Windows only)
    • ServerLicenseFile: The authorization file for ArcGIS GIS Server you obtained from Esri. It must be in the S3 deployment bucket.
    • SiteAdmin: The Portal for ArcGIS initial administrator account and ArcGIS Server primary site administrator.
    • SiteAdminPassword: The password for the SiteAdmin.
    • SiteDomain: The domain name for your ArcGIS Enterprise deployment. This domain must be mapped to the ElasticIP you specified.
    • SiteEIPAllocationID: The allocation ID of the Elastic IP for this deployment. Allocation IDs are in the format: eipalloc-xxxxxxxxx. Your SiteDomain needs to be mapped to this EIP.
    • SSLCertificateFile: The SSL Certificate issued to your SiteDomain, e.g. WebGIS_esri_com.pfx. It must be in the S3 deployment bucket.
    • SSLCertPassword: The password to your SSL certificate.
    • StoreType:
      • FileSystem: Portal for ArcGIS content store and ArcGIS Server config-store will be on the file system in the same machine.
      • CloudStore: Portal for ArcGIS content store will be in an AWS S3 bucket created by the stack. ArcGIS Server config-store will be in AWS DynamoDB and a S3 bucket created by this stack.

  • Troubleshooting

    See Troubleshoot AWS CloudFormation stack creation in the ArcGIS Enterprise on Amazon Web Services help if you run into problems.

Steps to complete the deployment

The Portal for ArcGIS initial administrator needs to customize the portal for your organization's use. See the topics in the Portal for ArcGIS administrator guide for information on configuring the portal web site, adding members, securing the portal, and other administrative tasks.
