Learn how to run a multi-tiered auto scaled Geoserver environment in a container based serverless deployment on Amazon Web Services (AWS).
This lab will introduce running GeoServer on AWS. GeoServer is an OGC compliant implementation of a number of open standards including Web Feature Service (WFS), Web Map Service (WMS), and Web Coverage Service (WCS).
The workshop will walk you through the steps required to launch the Geoserver standard docker distribution and host this on AWS Fargate. AWS Fargate is a serverless, pay-as-you-go compute engine that lets you focus on building applications without managing servers.
GeoServer can leverage a variety of data sources including PostgreSQL/PostGIS. PostGIS is a spatial database extender for the PostgreSQL object-relational database. With AWS support for PostgreSQL/PostGIS available in Aurora Serverless we will explore connecting GeoServer to a PostgreSQL source to illustrate a multi-tier architecture. We will explore scaling out the GeoServer web tier and including a shared file service using Elastic File Service (EFS).
Audience will be Geoserver admins/users that are interested in running Geoserver on AWS in a highly available fashion with minimal server management needs.
