• Install the Chef Client (v. 12.5.1 or later)

• Copy ArcGIS Cookbooks to server and unzip to c:\chef

- https://github.com/Esri/arcgis-cookbook/releases/tag/v3.0.0

• Stage Setups and License Files

• Edit JSON configuration file to meet your own needs

Support ArcGIS Enterprise Deployment Patterns

Upgrade ArcGIS Enterprise (WebGIS) to 10.4.1 or 10.5

• New Version:

- 10.4.1

- 10.5

• New Setup

• New License File

• Correct Attributes

- Easier if you used Chef to deploy before

Better Linux Support

• Linux OS:

- RHEL 7

- Ubuntu 14.04 LTS

- Ubuntu 16.04 LTS

• Well defined workflows

- Regular user, NOT super user

- Super user

- Configure the WA for the defined web server

- Focus on ArcGIS software

Other GIS functions

• Server: Publish services using Admin API……

"services" : [

{

"folder" : "",

"name" : "map_bv",

"type" : "MapServer",

"definition_file" : "C:\\ArcGIS\\SDs\\map_bv.sd",

"properties" : {

"maxInstancesPerNode" : 4

}

"run_list":[

……

"recipe[arcgis-server::services]"

]

• Setup repository

"version":"10.5",

"repository":{

"archives":"\\\\esri.com\\Software\\Esri\\Released"

},

Chef Server and Advanced Options

Distributed Deployment

• Login to every machine and run Chef-Client

• Chef-Server

- Central repository

- Assign roles to every machine

- Run the recipes/updates accordingly

- Setting up:

- By yourself or

- Hosted solution
