Azure Blog Storage and Map Tile Cache Creation

FraserHand

Hi There,

When using Azure storage for my map caches (registered through a ArcGIS Server data store item) it appears that I can't generate the cache directly there - I have to generate the cache on disk and then copy it into storage. Is this correct or am I missing something? How does this affect tile generation on demand? Once copied cache works fine.

Cheers

EDIT: This is the current workflow for 0.5.1. Creating directly to cloud storage is coming in a future release.

Cache creation in Azure is supported at version 10.6 onwards.

You would have to register the Azure blob store as a cloud store using ArcGIS Server Manager  https://enterprise.arcgis.com/en/server/latest/publish-services/windows/registering-your-data-with-arcgis-server-using-manager.htm#ESRI_SECTION2_2015F3A59FA243CC9BDA15B1BCCC468B

After registering the cloud store, you can publish cached map or image services using the Azure blobstore as a cache directory. You can create cache schema, update cache tiles, and delete cache tiles in Cloudstore.

 

The following document  https://enterprise.arcgis.com/en/server/latest/cloud/amazon/cache-creation-in-aws.htm is applicable to both Amazon and Azure Cloudstore  cache directories 

Unfortunately, we need to add a generic documentation on the details of what is supported at each version for caching in all cloudstores. We will be updating the documentation shortly.
