Preocupación sobre la Configuración de ArcGIS Desktop en la Nube

Question

<\/HEAD>Hola, <\/P> <\/P> Entiendo que hay muchos beneficios cuando tienes tu configuración de ArcGIS Desktop en la nube. Me gustaría obtener algunas ideas sobre lo que otros han hecho dentro de su organización con respecto a la configuración de ArcGIS Desktop. La razón por la que pregunto esto es que tenemos un caso especial aquí donde estamos trabajando en un proyecto específico en el que los datos a menudo nos son enviados externamente a lo largo del día y de forma diaria. Actualmente tenemos nuestra configuración, incluyendo nuestro repositorio de datos gis, en la nube. El tiempo que toma migrar los datos a la nube solo para verlos y procesarlos, y también la necesidad de reempaquetar y moverlos fuera de la nube de vuelta al cliente, puede ser muy consumidor de tiempo. Basado en esto, me pregunto si realmente tiene sentido tener ArcGIS Desktop configurado en la nube. Cualquier aporte sobre este asunto será muy apreciado.<\/P> <\/P> Gracias<\/P><\/BODY><\/HTML>

Hey Sam,

I'd like to recommend considering setting up a file share location on AWS or Azure.  I would suggest virtualization your desktop, like you stated, then load the data to an object storage account like I've linked to below.  Data can be moved to the container mentioned above and ingested from there directly to the virtual desktop, cutting down the number of back and forth. Also, both have Python Libraries that would allow you to automate much of this.

AWS File Storage - Cloud Object Storage | Store & Retrieve Data Anywhere | Amazon Simple Storage Service

Azure File Storage - File Storage | Microsoft Azure

AWS SDK for Python - AWS SDK for Python

Azure SDK for Python - GitHub - Azure/azure-sdk-for-python: Microsoft Azure SDK for Python

Thanks Jacob. I will definitely go through the documents you provided since we are indeed struggling to get arcgis pro virtualized (it is slow on the cloud at the moment).

With that being said, my question is more towards the validity of having arcgis desktop setup on the cloud if we are required to receive data from external source. This means we would constantly need to move data in and out throughout the day and on a daiily basis. This becomes very time consuming. I understand the benefit of having it on the cloud, but am wondering that maybe having a local setup is more appropriate for this particular use case as we avoid having to spend significant time on transferring data in and out of the cloud?

Thanks in advance for your input,

Unfortunately I regret to inform  you that I will not be able to attend the conference this year.

Hey Sam,

ArcGIS Desktop and ArcGIS Pro can both be deployed on the cloud.  Many customers do this today with great success. Here's a couple things to review on the documentation side:

Cloud virtualization—ArcGIS Pro | ArcGIS Desktop

ArcGIS Desktop 10.6.x system requirements—ArcGIS Help | ArcGIS Desktop Scroll down about half of the way and there's the recommendations for AWS and Azure listed.

ArcGIS Desktop Licensing in the Cloud Whitepaper:

I'd be happy to discuss further or answer any specific questions you have here, or next week at the UC if you are attending.
