The 12.0 release of ArcGIS Enterprise on Amazon Web Services (AWS) includes the new options and changes described in the sections below.
Changes to ArcGIS Enterprise Cloud Builder for Amazon Web Services
If you use ArcGIS Enterprise Cloud Builder for Amazon Web Services to create a deployment that includes an ArcGIS Server or ArcGIS Workflow Manager site and choose cloud store for the configuration store type, the shared directories and configuration store are stored in the same Amazon DynamoDB database, Amazon Simple Queue Service (SQS) queues, and Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3) bucket.
New or updated CloudFormation templates
The following changes have been made to the CloudFormation templates that are provided by Esri with the 12.0 release:
New template
A new CloudFormation template is available to upgrade a single-machine ArcGIS Video Server 11.5 site to 12.0.
Changes to existing templates
Changes have been made to CloudFormation templates provided by Esri at 12.0 to support functionality added at the last release, to remove unsupported options, and to support new functionality.
- An optional parameter was added to the application load balancer and classic load balancer templates to allow you to specify a name for the load balancer.
- To allow more flexibility when instance types are added, templates allow you to type the instance types for Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) or database instance types rather than restricting you to a predefined list.
- The single-machine ArcGIS Data Store upgrade template and the cluster ArcGIS Data Store upgrade template can upgrade an ArcGIS Data Store object store deployed in single-instance or cluster mode, respectively.
- The cluster ArcGIS Data Store upgrade template can upgrade a graph store cluster.
- The tileCache value is removed from all ArcGIS Data Store upgrade templates.
- For templates that include the Configuration Store Type parameter, the CloudStore value creates a deployment that uses Amazon DynamoDB, SQS, and S3 for ArcGIS Server directories for the following deployment types:
- Single-machine ArcGIS Server site
- Highly available ArcGIS Server site
- Single-machine ArcGIS Workflow Manager Server site
- Highly available ArcGIS Workflow Manager Server site
- The hosting server component of ArcGIS Enterprise on one machine
- The hosting server component of a highly available ArcGIS Enterprise deployment
Changes in versions and support
- The ArcGIS Data Store tile cache data store is no longer supported. You cannot upgrade a tile cache data store to 12.0. If your deployment includes hosted scene layers that have caches in the tile cache data store, you must configure an object store with the deployment and migrate the hosted scene layer caches to the object store before you upgrade to 12.0.
The tools to migrate hosted scene layer caches are present in ArcGIS Enterprise 11.4 and 11.5. If your deployment is at an earlier release, you must upgrade to 11.4 or 11.5 to migrate caches. Follow the instructions with the 11.4 or 11.5 help to upgrade and to migrate hosted scene layer caches to the object store.
- You can upgrade directly to 12.0 from 11.0 or later, but only if your deployment does not include components or items that are no longer supported. See ArcGIS upgrades on Amazon Web Services for information.
- New deployments include Amazon Elastic Block Store (EBS) GP3 volumes rather than GP2.
- See the latest deprecation notices on the Esri support site for a list of additional deprecated functionality.
