[Geoserver-users] Geoserver in cloud architecture

Hi everyone,

we’ve developed a cloud application (on Azure) that produces images for a web GIS. The images produced (using Spark) are stored in the cloud file system Azure DataLake.

Now we want to go into production serving the images to the GIS application using GeoServer.

We have installed GeoServer on a dedicated virtual machine and the current solution is to duplicate the images saved in the remote Azure DataLake on the local file system of the VM and then build stores, layers, etc. This solution is inconvenient: it involves a considerable duplication of data and requires a process that takes care of synchronizing the data saved on the DataLake with those of the GeoServer machine.

How can we improve this implementation? Is there a way to connect GeoServer to the data stored in the cloud directly?

I know that there is a plugin for Amazon S3 while there is not one for Azure.

Thanks in advance,

Nicola

Try the community cloud optimized geotiff implementation, perhaps you can configure it to access your data lake images directly? As long as you can provide a URL …
