We are starting to look at what it would take to move our entire GIS infrastructure to the cloud.  This would include our enterprise geodatabases and Enterprise deployment.  I'm not terribly concerned about the Enterprise deployment part of the move.  The portion that I'm really interested to hear peoples thoughts/ideas/experiences on is the actual data migration/setup/configuration/performance. There are several logistical questions we have in order to fully understand what it would take on our end to provide our users with their familiar desktop setups if our enterprise databases were in the cloud. Is there a preferred/recommended cloud environment between Azure and AWS.  Are there any glaring reasons to use one over the other? If our data is in the cloud, how would users make direct connections to the geodatabase for adding datasets to Pro? ... are you able to connect to a database via an IP address? ... do feature services become more important? If our data is in the cloud, are you able to use OS authentication to make a direct connection to the geodatabase or does it require a named user in the database? Is there a performance hit when connecting to a cloud geodatabase? Is it recommended to use remote/cloud desktops to connect to a cloud geodatabase to improve performance? I'm sure there are many things I've overlooked, we are mainly interested in getting our heads wrapped around the logistics of a move to the cloud. Any thoughts/ideas/suggestions are welcome! ...

Please add full HTML support within the new map viewer pop-up configuration.  We use a ton of HTML for our pop-ups in the map viewer classic in order to make our pop-ups more dynamic, and not having this ability in the new map viewer is really disappointing. I really like the ability to drag and drop and re-order pop-up items in the new map viewer, but not having the ability to have full HTML seems like a gaping hole when it is supported in the classic map viewer. ...

In 10.9, I've noticed that if I create Arcade expressions within a web map, the resulting web map item page has a ton of extraneous text shown in the "Layers" section of the web map.  It doesn't seem to affect the web map itself, but is there any reason for this extra text?  The extra text seems to take on whatever the web map item name is, in this case, 'test'. The screenshot below is an example.     ... View more

We just added the Map Viewer Beta to our 10.9 Enterprise, and I've had the following issues, and am just wondering if anyone else has had similar issues: The "Search for Layers" tool doesn't work for anything, not even my own content The following properties remain grayed out for map image layers: Styles Filter Clustering Configure Pop-ups Configure Fields Labels I was kind of looking forward to trying it, but it seems pretty unusable at this point at 10.9. ...

Is there a way to query the background image that's being used by the new ArcGIS Enterprise home page in version 10.9? If I run a jQuery script that tries to retrieve the background-image CSS property for the div where the image is set, I get "undefined" as the return. Is there a better way of doing this?...something that is different with the way this home page is being loaded? ... View more

Is there a way to sort the features returned in a feature pop-up in Web AppBuilder Developer Edition, for example by a field value? Similarly, if there are overlapping features from more than one layer returned in a pop-up, is there a way to set which layer is displayed first in the pop-up? ... View more
