Web Adaptor and SQL server in cloud architecture

MelanieFournier1 — Tue, 15 Sep 2020 13:23:22 GMT

Hello,

i am interested in installing my development environment on the cloud. I saw that I could use the enterprise builder for cloud and I will get all the components on one machine.

I was wondering if someone can recommand the best practices regarding the web adaptors? Do I need to get one for portal and one for server? Or if I have a reverse proxy they are not mandatory?

And if I want to get a database, can I install SQL server express on the same machine, or is that supposed to go on another server? I only deplyed architecture on premises, and cloud is totally new for me.

Thanks.

Mélanie

Hi Mélanie,

To answer your question regarding web adaptors please take a look here: https://enterprise.arcgis.com/en/web-adaptor/10.8/install/iis/getting-started-with-the-arcgis-web-adaptor.htm

While it is best practice to have one web adaptor for Server and one for Portal, you can certainly utilize one for both.

In addition, here is a brief note on web adaptors and reverse proxies:

If you do not use ArcGIS Web Adaptor in your deployment, ensure that the reverse proxy server's context name only goes one URL level deep. For example, you can have a reverse proxy URL such as https://proxy.domain.com/enterprise, but you cannot have a reverse proxy URL such as https://proxy.domain.com/myorg/enterprise.

Please take a look here for more documentation on reverse proxies: https://enterprise.arcgis.com/en/web-adaptor/latest/install/iis/using-a-reverse-proxy-server-with-portal-for-arcgis.htm

Last, these two links will introduce you to Enterprise in the cloud and Enterprise Databases in the cloud:

I hope this helps!
