The 11.5 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
The following have changed in ArcGIS Enterprise Cloud Builder for Amazon Web Services at this release:
- ArcGIS Enterprise deployments created with the 11.5 Cloud Builder app and ArcGIS Enterprise Cloud Builder Command Line Interface for Amazon Web Services include an object store. If you use file system storage, the ArcGIS Data Store object store deployed in single-instance mode is created on the primary instance. If you use cloud service storage, the object store is created in Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3).
- After you upgrade an ArcGIS Enterprise deployment, configure an object store for the deployment.
New or updated CloudFormation templates
The following changes have been made to the CloudFormation templates that are provided by Esri with the 11.5 release:
New template
A new CloudFormation template is available for 11.5 to deploy a single-machine ArcGIS Video Server site.
Changes to existing templates
Several changes have been made to CloudFormation templates provided by Esri at this release as a result of changes in ArcGIS Data Store and a few default values have changed.
- The primary-standby ArcGIS Data Store template no longer creates a graph store, because primary-standby mode is no longer supported for the graph store.
- The single-machine ArcGIS Data Store template can create an ArcGIS Data Store object store deployed in single-instance mode.
- The cluster ArcGIS Data Store template creates a three-machine graph store cluster. It can also create an ArcGIS Data Store object store cluster containing three or five machines.
- For all templates that include the Configuration Store Type parameter, Content Store Type parameter, or Backup Store Type parameter, the default value is now CloudStore.
- A new parameter—ArcGIS User Account Name —allows you to specify the username for the local account that runs the ArcGIS software. Previously, the templates always created a login named arcgis.
- The default database versions created by the template to add an Amazon Aurora PostgreSQL database and the template to add an Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS) for PostgreSQL have changed.
Changes in versions and support
- Two new AWS regions are supported—ap-southeast-7 and mx-central-1.
- When you upgrade a primary-standby graph store using any method, the graph store is placed in single instance mode and contains only one EC2 instance after upgrading.
- The ArcGIS Data Store tile cache data store is deprecated. You can upgrade an existing tile cache data store, and existing hosted scene layers continue to function. However, you must configure an object store with the deployment. You must also migrate existing hosted scene layer caches to the object store, because 11.5 is the last release to support the tile cache data store.
Note:
If you upgrade the deployment using a CloudFormation template provided by Esri, you may need to update IAM role policies before you configure the object store.
- See the latest deprecation notices on the Esri support site for a list of additional deprecated functionality.
