Equip Your GIS Teams to Run ArcGIS Enterprise on Kubernetes

ArcGIS Enterprise on Kubernetes is Esri's container-based deployment of ArcGIS Enterprise, in which the mapping and spatial-analytics platform runs as microservices orchestrated by a Kubernetes cluster instead of on individual Windows or Linux machines. What is ArcGIS Enterprise on Kubernetes? It is a cloud-native way to run the Enterprise organization, portal, hosting server, and data stores as containerized services that scale, recover, and upgrade through Kubernetes. As organizations modernize their GIS infrastructure, teams that can deploy and administer ArcGIS Enterprise on Kubernetes gain a resilient, scalable platform that fits cloud and DevOps operating models.

As organizations move geospatial workloads to cloud-native, container-based infrastructure, this program helps your teams deploy and run ArcGIS Enterprise on Kubernetes across a real cluster. Empower your people with expert-led on-site, off-site, and virtual sessions delivered by Edstellar, a premier corporate training provider serving organizations worldwide in-person and virtually across popular languages. Fully customized to your goals, the program turns ArcGIS Enterprise on Kubernetes skills into lasting capabilities that lift performance across your GIS, IT, and platform engineering teams.

By the end of the program, your team can prepare a Kubernetes cluster, deploy the ArcGIS Enterprise organization, configure security and access, scale microservices, and recover the deployment when issues arise. The result is a resilient, scalable geospatial platform with high availability, predictable upgrades, and in-house expertise that reduces downtime and dependence on outside consultants.
