30 Automation with Chef

31 Esri and Chef ArcGIS Cookbook first released at Chef - One of the most popular IT standard automation framework - Install ready-to-use cookbooks and define the configuration - Run chef with the configuration file - Deploy exact way you want - No programming skills required

32 Use Esri Chef Automation When Automation - Reliable and testable deployments and upgrades - Faster Disaster Recovery - Moving between data centers - Rapid Auto-Scaling Chef - Ready-to-use tools with minimum requirements to start - Across environments and platforms Production ArcGIS Dev ArcGIS Recovery QA ArcGIS

33 Easy to Start Install Chef Client and Download Cookbook Edit Property json file chef-solo -j <properties>.json

34 Upgrade Download New Version of Cookbook New Version #; New Setups; New License Files chef-solo -j <properties>.json

35 Demo Install and Upgrade ArcGIS Enterprise Using Chef

36 Getting Started

37

38 Highly Configurable and Flexible highly available deployment Single-machine deployment ArcGIS GeoAnalytics Server ArcGIS Image Server Multi-machine deployment

39 Varieties of Environments

40 ArcGIS Software ArcGIS Enterprise - Portal for ArcGIS - ArcGIS Server - Enabled Roles: GIS Server, Image Server, GeoAnalytics Server, GeoEvent Server - ArcGIS Data Store - relational, tile cache, spatiotemporal big data store - ArcGIS Web Adaptor And other Esri Software: - ArcGIS Pro - Insights for ArcGIS - ArcGIS Desktop - ArcGIS License Manager

41 Best Practices

42 Plan Ahead Need plan ahead - Design - Configuration - Testing Repeatable - Success in production environment - Less downtime in production - Faster recovery

43 Consider Baking a Base Image Install Chef; Cookbook Have Some Processes Done. e.g, Setups, System Requirements Have some components baked in, e.g. base map, security updates, etc

44 Work With ArcGIS API for Python webgisdr Utility Other software deployment automation tools GIS workflow automation tools - Python API for ArcGIS - WebGISDR tool Whole system infrastructure automation High Availability and Disaster Recovery deployment Moving to different data centers

45 Other Tricks & Tips Upgrade: Use Chef to deploy first Disconnected Environment Considerations Make sure you have proper Esri license files staged for use Software setups in a common location for access Having Chef Client installation staged for installation

46 Other Tricks & Tips Set password in an environment variable -l debug for debug Attributes value of True or False, no. e.g. configure_autostart : true ArcGIS Cookbooks support enabling Server roles. Support security configuration for ArcGIS Server.

47 Key Points about ArcGIS Chef Automation Doesn t require programming skills Easy to start Flexible and highly configurable Repeatable Plan ahead

48 Automation with PowerShell DSC

49 Use PowerShell DSC when - Microsoft Shop - Bias towards Microsoft Windows Tools - PowerShell DSC is built into Windows - Windows Administrators love PowerShell - DSC is a natural fit - Low Tech solution for push automation across multiple machines - No centralized server needed PowerShell DSC

50 PowerShell over the years Nov 2006 Oct 2009 Nov 2012 Oct 2013 Apr 2014 Jan 2018 PowerShell Releases

51 What is PowerShell DSC (Desired State Configuration) Declarative platform used for configuration, deployment, and management of systems. Automation Concepts Idempotent Declarative Not Idempotent Add Checks to ensure idempotent Imperative Declarative

52 PowerShell DSC Archive Environment File Group Log Package Registry Script Service User Windows Feature Windows Process Unpack.zip files Manage env variables Manage files, folders Manage local groups Write message to log Install/Uninstall.msi and setups Manage registry keys & values Run PowerShell script blocks Manage Services Manage local users Add/Remove Windows Features Manager Processes Built in DSC Resources

53 Wealth of DSC Resources PowerShell Gallery DSC Resource Kit

54 What about ArcGIS? Wouldn t this be great? Not so Fast!

55 GIS Infrastructure GIS Infrastructure needs vary

56 Discrete States - Install Software - License Software - Configure Service Account - Create Windows Local/Domain User Account - Assign File System Privileges - Assign Windows Service to User - Create Site - Import SSL Certificates - Register/Configure Databases or Data Stores - Federate Site - Stop/Start Server Services - Publish Services

57 ArcGIS DSC Resources ArcGIS_Install ArcGIS_License ArcGIS_ServiceAccount ArcGIS_Server ArcGIS_Portal ArcGIS_DataStore ArcGIS_Server_TLS ArcGIS_Portal_TLS ArcGIS_WebAdaptor ArcGIS_EGDB ArcGIS_GeoEvent ArcGIS_Federation ArcGIS_IIS_TLS Manages the (un)installation of ArcGIS (Server) Software Licenses ArcGIS (Server) Software Configures the Run As Service with appropriate (file system) privileges Configures the ArcGIS Server Site Configures the Portal for ArcGIS Configures the ArcGIS DataStore Configures SSL on a Server Site Configures SSL on a Portal Site Configures Web Adaptor on IIS for Portal/Server Enables/Registers an SQL Server flavor EGDB with Server Configures GeoEvent Extension for Server Configures Federation between Server and Portal Configures SSL on IIS

58 Do I need to learn all these DSC Resources to use it? No! We want the getting started experience to be simple You only get one first impression

59 Getting Started 3 Easy Steps

60 Getting Started Install ArcGIS PowerShell Module Edit (JSON) configuration file - Sample Configurations are - documented for common site topologies Start Configuration

61 Automation using PowerShell DSC System Requirements - PowerShell 4.0 or Higher - Windows Management Framework 4.0 or Higher - Automation delivered via - PowerShell Gallery (best experience) - GitHub (Manual Install) - Download Installers and Licenses from my ESRI (regular means)

62 Demo PowerShell DSC

63 Automation using PowerShell DSC Key Takeaways - New Automation Option at 10.6 (Beta) - Analogous to Chef Automation - Targets an audience with a bias towards Microsoft Windows tooling - Windows Admins love PowerShell - DSC - Natural Fit - Easy Low Tech Solution for Push Model - Delivered via - PowerShell Gallery - Github - Supports Single and Multi machine sites - Install, Uninstall and Upgrade workflows

64 Summary Recap of when to use each tool

65 Best fit use case: ArcGIS Enterprise Builder = On-premises, all-in-one, single machine deployment - Base deployment only AWS = Deploying in Amazon cloud - Base deployment, server roles Azure = Deploying in Azure cloud - Base deployment, server roles Chef = Multi-machine deployments, on-premises or cloud, Windows or Linux, repeat deployments - Base deployment, server roles, HA, DR Powershell DSC = Multi-machine deployments, on-premises Windows - -Base deployment, server roles, HA
