Summary

ArcGIS Enterprise 10.5 brings many changes to the world of ArcGIS Server and Portal for ArcGIS. Portal is now a core component along with ArcGIS Server, Data Store, and the Web Adaptor. The concept of server roles is introduced at 10.5, with former extensions now becoming added functionality to ArcGIS Enterprise as deployed in your own infrastructure. Installation of ArcGIS Enterprise consists of installing and configuring the core components. These components can live internally in your own infrastructure on physical or virtual hardware, in the cloud, or a combination of the two. Configuration options abound and it is important to find the optimal setup for your organization's needs. Now that core software is installed, next, in Chapter 2, Enterprise Geodatabase Administration, we will look at how to go about creating, configuring, loading data into, and maintaining an enterprise geodatabase.
