ArcGIS Enterprise in the cloud - pros/cons?

[MatthewDowning2]

We are thinking about deploying the ArcGIS Enterprise stack in Azure or AWS. Does anyone have any experience doing this? Willing to share any pros/cons both from a technical and/or business perspective? Hybrid vs full cloud deployments?

I am in the same situation here.  Any information relevant to Matthew's question would be helpful to me as well.  Thank you.

Hi Matthew and John,

> ... deploying the ArcGIS Enterprise stack in Azure or AWS. Does anyone have any experience doing this? Willing to share any pros/cons both from a technical and/or business perspective? Hybrid vs full cloud deployments?

Please take a look at this whitepaper, https://community.esri.com/groups/mobile-gis/blog/2017/10/25/arcgis-secure-mobile-implementation-pat... specifically section 5 - which discusses the different deployment options available for the ArcGIS Platform. It discusses pros/cons from a technical and business perspective(s).

FYI: I am in the process of updating this whitepaper to include content on the ArcGIS user types, GIS server roles, etc. The updated version should be available end of Oct/mid Nov 2019 timeframe.

Hope this helps,
