QyrosCloud partnered with Epoch Solutions Group to transform their multi-tenant ArcGIS environment on AWS from a manual, error-prone operation into a fully automated, enterprise-grade deployment pipeline.
What was at stake.
Epoch Solutions Group delivers a multi-tenant ArcGIS environment on Amazon Web Services, supporting high-performance geospatial workloads for customers across the United States.
Prior to engaging QyrosCloud, Epoch relied heavily on manual “click-ops” deployments using the AWS Management Console. This approach created operational inefficiencies and limited the organization’s ability to scale.
Each environment deployment took nearly 4 hours across both the primary region (us-east-2) and disaster recovery region (us-east-1), impacting customer onboarding speed and operational agility.
“See how QyrosCloud cut ArcGIS deployment time by 97% and transformed a four-hour manual process into a fully automated, multi-region AWS deployment in under 10 minutes.”
How we solved it.
QyrosCloud designed and implemented a customized AWS automation framework that brought speed, consistency, and resilience to Epoch’s ArcGIS infrastructure. The solution aligned with AWS Well-Architected Framework principles and leveraged Infrastructure as Code (IaC) to standardize multi-region deployments, emphasizing:
- Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC)
- multi-region resilience
- proactive observability
- governance and security standardization
- customer enablement
- Developed modular CloudFormation templates for EC2, ALB, Route 53, Auto Scaling Groups (ASG), and networking components.
- Enabled consistent, version-controlled deployments across tenants and environments.
- Built a Python and Taskfile-based CLI that automates the entire stack deployment—ArcGIS Portal, Web Adaptor, and GIS Server—across regions with a single command.
- Reduced deployment time from hours to under 10 minutes.
- Automated resource provisioning across us-east-2 (primary) and us-east-1 (DR) regions.
- Ensured reliable failover and rapid recovery in disaster scenarios.
- Integrated AWS Web Application Firewall (WAF) with all public-facing ALBs.
- Provided proactive protection against common web exploits and improved compliance.
- Implemented ASGs to automatically adjust ArcGIS server capacity based on demand.
- Improved uptime, fault tolerance, and cost optimization.
A centralized monitoring framework was implemented using Amazon CloudWatch and Grafana.
Monitored Metrics:
- deployment success and failure rates
- system resource utilization (CPU, memory)
- ArcGIS service availability
- application latency
QyrosCloud enforced standardized deployment and security practices across all environments.
Controls:
- consistent IaC templates across tenants
- multi-environment standardization (dev, staging, production)
- centralized WAF policy enforcement
- controlled configuration baselines
QyrosCloud provided Epoch with the tools and knowledge required for independent operation.
Deliverables:
- reusable CloudFormation templates
- CLI deployment tooling
- operational runbooks
- architecture documentation
- knowledge transfer sessions
“This engagement required us to balance speed with compliance rigor. We deployed infrastructure-as-code from day one, automated evidence collection across the environment, and delivered a production-ready architecture that passed security review on the first attempt.”
The results speak for themselves.
Partnering with QyrosCloud enabled Epoch Solutions Group to accelerate its cloud operations, reduce costs, and enhance service reliability for its multi-tenant customers.
