ArcGIS Enterprise in the cloud

In addition to hosting ArcGIS Enterprise within your own infrastructure, whether it is on physical or virtual hardware, ArcGIS Enterprise can also run in the cloud. Esri supports ArcGIS Enterprise deployments on Amazon Web Services and Microsoft Azure. Standing up your ArcGIS Enterprise instance in the cloud offers several advantages to traditional on-premise deployments, such as:

• Ease of setup: Get an account set up and you can have a server up and running in just a few minutes.
• Maintenance: You don't have to maintain hardware infrastructure.
• Scalability: Machines can be added and removed as necessary, allowing you to distribute workloads for increased performance. Resources such as hard drives, CPUs, and memory can be easily scaled up as needed. Adding machines may require additional licensing depending on your licensing terms.
