ArcGIS Mission Server

This template provisions an ArcGIS Mission Server site.

To deploy ArcGIS Mission Server, follow the steps below:

  • Create an S3 bucket in your AWS account. This bucket is called DeploymentBucket in the template parameters.
  • Upload your ArcGIS Mission Server license file to the DeploymentBucket.
  • Obtain a domain for your ArcGIS Mission Server deployment and an SSL certificate in PKCS12 format issued to that domain name.
  • Upload the SSL certificate file to the DeploymentBucket.
  • Allocate an ElasticIP for VPC in the AWS region where you want to create your stack.
  • Map the domain name to the Elastic IP.
  • Create a CloudFormation stack using the template.
    Click Launch Stack for this template. The CloudFormation template has the following parameters:
    • InstanceType: The instance type for the EC2 instances that participate in the ArcGIS Mission Server site.
    • DriveSizeRoot: The size of the root drive.
    • KeyName : The EC2 Key Pair to allow SSH access to the instances.
    • ServerLicenseFile: The authorization file for ArcGIS Mission Server that you obtained from Esri. It must be in the S3 deployment bucket.
    • SiteAdmin: The user name for the ArcGIS Mission Server primary site administrator account.
    • SiteAdminPassword: The password for SiteAdmin.
    • SiteEIPAllocationID: The allocation ID of the Elastic IP address for this deployment. Allocation IDs are in the format: eipalloc-xxxxxxxxx. Your SiteDomain needs to be mapped to this IP address.
    • SSLCertificateFile: The SSL Certificate issued to your SiteDomain, for example, WebGIS_esri_com.pfx. It must be in the S3 deployment bucket.
    • SSLCertPassword: The password to your SSL certificate.
    • Subnet: The id of the subnet you want this deployment to be deployed to.
    • VPCId: The id of the VPC where you want to deploy to. The Subnets must belong to this VPC.
    • BaseAMI (optional):
        Ubuntu
        The Amazon machine image used to launch the EC2 instances. If the parameter value is not specified, it defaults to the Ubuntu 18.04 LTS AMI included in the CloudFormation template. Alternatively, you can use up-to-date "Canonical, Ubuntu, 18.04 LTS, amd64 bionic" images for hvm:ebs-ssd instance type or customized images derived from that image if the customized image meets the system requirements of ArcGIS Mission Server and the CloudFormation template. Use the Amazon EC2 AMI Locator to find the images for a specific AWS region. Even if customization of the image is not required, still it is recommended that you copy the AMI into your AWS account if you plan to launch additional EC2 instances from that AMI in the future.
        Windows
        Name of the Systems Manager parameter that contains EC2 AMI Id. The default parameter name is '/aws/service/ami-windows-latest/Windows_Server-2019-English-Full-Base'. This parameter contains ID of the latest Windows Server 2019 AMI created by AWS.
      • PostInstallationScript (optional): A tar.gz archive file with a custom post installation script. This file must be uploaded to DeploymentBucket. If there's deploy.sh at the root level inside this zip file, it will be executed.

    Troubleshooting ArcGIS Mission Server deployments

    The CloudFormation template uses AWS Systems Manager to configure EC2 instances. The Systems Manager's Run Command log files are copied to the deployment S3 bucket after the command execution is completed. Links to the log files of the completed commands can be found in Command history tab of the AWS Systems Manager - Run Command page in the AWS Management Console.
