Location: 330 Sparks 1255

Agenda

  1. What are the specifics of FGP’s ArcGIS Enterprise architecture? We’ve already been given access to the FGP ArcGIS Online organization, and we believe that you also have an ArcGIS Enterprise cloud deployment on AWS. Do you also have on on-premises deployment of ArcGIS Enterprise? What version of ArcGIS Enterprise are you currently using?

  2. We believe that the appropriate mechanism for integrating Transport Canada’s enterprise GIS and FGP is an ArcGIS Portal collaboration with FGP as the host. Is this something that FGP is willing to work on with Transport Canada? Who is the appropriate contact at FGP with whom we can work on setup and configuration?

  3. As part of our project, we’re building a set of data governance guidelines. We assume that FGP has some also. We’d like to ensure that Transport Canada’s are aligned with FGP’s.

  4. Seat for Jiehua on FGP Technical Working Group

Discussion

  • TC is currently on ArcGIS Enterprise 10.6.1

  • FGP

    • Enterprise on-premises 10.3.x at SSC in Barrie

    • 500 services on-premises (variety of types)

    • working on moving to cloud (1 1/2 years already)

    • AWS cloud

      • sandbox landing zone integrated with NRCan AD (tunneled through Azure)

      • architecting for the cloud (not lift and ship)

      • unclassified low/low

      • impacts on architecture?

        • TC (GC?) cloud working group

        • Security Assessment and Authorization (SA&A)

    • Azure vs. AWS

      • Esri is more mature on AWS than on Azure

        • AGOL and managed cloud services

      • FGP trying to get access to people who are running AGOL
        ? What would it take to integrate with TC AD?
        ? How would portals on different ADs connect to each other?
        ! geographic redundancy - FGP is not hosting mission-critical data

      • FGP is looking to get resources from Esri (PowerShell scripts, Chef Cookbooks, etc.)

        • FGP can make these available to TC if not precluded by contract with Esri

    • standards-compliant metadata catalog

      • gcgeo.gc.ga -- only for open data

      • Open Maps -- CCAN (hosted by TBS)

      • connect to an API

      • harmonized NA Profile (HNAP)
        ? which standard should we use at TC?

    • portal collaborations

      • catalog solution is on GeoNetwork

        • outside of Esri technology

      • portal-to-portal collaboration is an area for further exploration

    • fall meeting of Technical Working Group

      • late October / early November

      • chaired by Deputy Director
