ArcGIS on Azure
I've migrated utility GIS datasets to cloud-hosted ArcGIS Enterprise on Azure — same GIS outcomes, different control plane.
Why Azure
Enterprise identity meets geospatial
Utility and agency estates often standardize on Microsoft. Azure becomes the natural home for ArcGIS Enterprise lifts, secure storage, and Entra-backed apps.
Identity first
Entra ID (Azure AD) shapes how portals, dashboards, and APIs authenticate. Architecture has to start there, not with the map.
Hybrid reality
Many GIS estates stay hybrid for years. Azure ExpressRoute, private endpoints, and landing zones matter as much as the web map.
Multi-cloud fluency
Solutions Architects rarely get one cloud forever. This lab keeps Azure patterns sharp next to AWS and GCP.
Built on Azure
Playground projects
Public Azure demos are next. Until then, this hub captures why the platform shows up in my utility and enterprise work.
Landing Zone
Enterprise GIS landing zone notes
Reference notes for hosting ArcGIS on Azure — identity, storage, and network patterns without client secrets.
Coming soonEntra Map
Identity-aware map shell
A minimal Azure-hosted map page that documents Entra sign-in patterns for GIS apps.
Coming soonPlatform labs
Same pattern, more stacks
Mapping and cloud playgrounds — each hub explains why I use the platform and links demos as they ship.
