As part of Landgate’s digital strategy to adopt cloud-based solutions, Modis has migrated of a range of applications and their underlying resources to the AWS Cloud in a secure and scalable fashion. Following this strategy, a cloud-based solution was needed to migrate the Topo application.
With a large number of ArcGIS Desktop applications, custom geospatial tools and geodatabases, the solution needed to be easy-to-use, secure and scalable to meet the demands of topographic editing and spatial maintenance tasks.

The solution required the capability to provide secure and scalable platform to run ArcGIS Desktop applications and custom geospatial tools without worrying about the management of underlying hardware inventory. To this end, Amazon WorkSpaces Desktop-as-a-Service (DaaS) solution was selected as a platform for the configuration and deployment of Topo application. The solution that was selected was based upon components and services:
The solution was mostly automated except some parts that needed manual configuration. The automation was done using EC2 AutoScale and CloudFormation for geodatabase and ArcGIS License Server creation.
PowerShell scripts were used to automate the base WorkSpaces image preparation and manual process to configure WorkSpaces bundle and actual WorkSpaces.

Since the new solution has been implemented, the Landgate Topographic and Geospatial teams’ requirement for compute capacity has changed frequently and the requirements was met by the scalability of the solution adopted. The solution has offered the teams with capability to address demands of geospatial processing and ArcGIS Desktop applications from computational resource perspectives.
The use of ArcGIS Desktop Application in Amazon WorkSpaces has provided a solution that has the flexibility and scalability to update the platform and scale the underlying compute resources that the Topo applications requires. Modis continues to maintain the Topo application and update the platform, WorkSpaces images and bundles.
