Abstract

ArcGIS Server and AWS Automation with SLAP Scripting
Track: Urban and Regional Planning
Authors: Sandy Jurek, Tyler Prahl

Great Lakes Water Authority (GLWA) rebuilt its GIS infrastructure in 2015 to include a fail-over environment automated in Amazon Web Services (AWS). GISinc developed a Simple Library for Automated Publishing to streamline map services publishing and updates. The ArcGIS Server map services are replicated by a series of Python processes that transfer and publish the AWS content. Now, GLWA can better monitor the system with minimal manual steps and intervention.
