Mapping GIS services to a cluster


We managed to set up three clusters of machines and took our network diagram and extracted a clustering pattern out of it. We then created the clusters and assigned the machines to those clusters based on different factors: resources, network cost, and locality. That was one side of the coin. We should now assign services to each cluster, and since you have multiple clusters, you will be asked to select which cluster you want to publish your GIS service on. To do this, we should first analyze the nature of the service, see how it behaves, and accordingly select the right environment for it. We have four services that we need to manage and map to clusters: Parcels, Buildings, Electricity, and extraction geoprocessing.

The Parcels service consists of only simple operations, such as pan and zoom and search, functions that seemingly do not require massive resources. It looks like it is a waste of resources to assign the Power or Remote...
