I'm trying to deploy two ESRI Enterprise Servers on AWS (Ubuntu) using ESRI's Enterprise Server AMI.   To deal with the need for access to shared configuration, I'm trying follow https://enterprise.arcgis.com/en/server/10.8/cloud/amazon/configure-shared-configuration-store.htm.  The portion that I'm unclear about is that the doc states that you'll need 3 EC2 instances;  2 will be connected the server site and the 3rd will be the "file share".

For my question, instances A and B will be connected in the Server Site, and instance C will be the "file share".

  • Step 2b, should this be 6443, or do I need to enable HTTP?
  • Step 3 is on instance A and B.  No question here.
  • Step 4-10, what instance(s) are these performed on, A, B or C? 
  • Steps 12-13 are performed on instance B.  No question here.

So overall, if I am correct on steps 3, 12 and 13, I'm unclear on 4-10 and mainly where does instance C come into the process.   Also does instance C need to remain running?

Thanks

Hello @DB_PPF,

Thank you for your questions. For step 2b, you are free to use 6443 to further secure your ArcGIS Server site; enabling HTTP is not mandatory. For steps 4-10, these steps are performed on AWS instance A.

Instance C will need to remain running, yes, as this instance is dedicated to serving as the ArcGIS Server site's file share. Instance C serves to host the configuration store, directories and log settings.

So once the setup is complete, you will have instances A and B operating in a highly available ArcGIS Server site and both instances refer to instance C as the file path for the site's configuration store and directories.
