Range of Cloud Providers Inspired by gigaom.com/2013/05/17/aws-is-the-mcdonalds-of-the-cloud-whos-the-burger-king/
IaaS PaaS SaaS Transitioning to Services
AWS Global Infrastructure
Availability Zone Availability Zone SERVER INSTANCE SERVER INSTANCE http /
ssl AWS Cloud SERVER INSTANCE SERVER INSTANCE Autoscaling Group Autoscaling Group Cloudwatch Elastic Load Balancer Users Internet A simple AWS example
Internet NAT Server Amazon RDS SQL Server VPN ELB ELB
Mapping ASG Spectrum ASG DynamoDB Amazon S3 ELB Amazon SQS Batch Spot ASG Low/Hi ASG Complex Configuration. Hybrid Approaches Amazon S3 DynamoDB ELB ELB ELB Reverse Proxy Routing ASG App ASG Spatial ASG Oracle 10g Postgres MDM Spatial Geocode
• Design to take advantage of Cloud Efficiencies • Stop
Hugging your Servers • Failure shouldn’t be a Drama • Use Multiple Availability Zones • Pay for what you Provision (not what you use) Lessons from the last 5 years
Enterprise GIS in a few minutes.. www.spatiallyadjusted.com/2013/12/23/using-postgis-on-amazon-rds-with-opengeo-suite/
Location: Ubiquitous for $1.50
Sensor Web becoming a reality? CityWatch.ie
Software: In Transition
The future of desktop GIS? @billdollins
Vendors iterating Desktop
Vendors embedding GIS into platforms
New technologies don’t solve deeper issues @nheudecker
Best of Breed Solutions
Browsers: Becoming more capable
..mostly.
Data Creation inside the Browser geojson.io
Complex Spatial Operations jasondavies.com
JavaScript & Python emerging as key D3js.org
New Techniques earth.nullschool.net
Code in the Open github.com/cambecc/earth
GitHub: Distributed versioning and collaboration
GitHub: GeoData rendering & sharing @BenBalter
Eg: Reverse engineered FGDB github.com/rouault/dump_gdbtable
Used as input to a .gdb → GeoJSON script github.com/calvinmetcalf/fileGDB.js
‘Drag and Drop’ site that renders GeoJSON calvinmetcalf.github.io/fileGDBjs
GitHub as a learning resource github.com/lyzidiamond/learn-geojson
Smart Tools: Dumb Formats flic.kr/p/4YMxp7
Data: From scarcity to abundance
~500GB of raw .xml when uncompressed github.com/mapbox/tm2
Vector Tiles: 'The Next Big Thing'? github.com/mapbox/tm2
Vector Tiles: Client Side opensciencemap.org
Cartography: A new Golden Age?
Velocity, Variety, Volume & Veracity https:/flic.kr/p/5C9pZF
No dataset is perfect
Mapping isn't as easy as some thought
Domain Knowledge still key @Thierry_G
@GapingVoid / @FlowchainSensei Geography: Distilling Wisdom from Information Geography: Distilling
Wisdom from Information
(Some) Data becoming a commodity Vs
OSM as the OpenGeoData ‘Poster Child’ @PetersonGIS
https://flic.kr/p/N9J81F Spatial Data moving to the Main Datastore
Opportunities: Postcodes
Challenges: Move up the Value Chain flic.kr/p/4wUhRb
geogit.org Challenges: Version Control for Spatial Data
Challenges: Transient Data
https:/flic.kr/p/68NZhL People: Roles, Skills and Diversity
New Roles: The Spatial Data Librarian?
New Skills: Coding becoming essential alex-singleton.com
New users: Diversity flic.kr/p/ha2Z9b
