Deploy Geospatial Consumption Zone
This guide shows you how to deploy the Geospatial Consumption Zone (GCZ) service integrated with Azure Data Manager for Energy (ADME).
Important
While the Geospatial Consumption Zone (GCZ) service is a graduated service in the OSDU Forum, it has limitations in terms of security and usage. We will deploy some additional services and policies to secure the environment, but encourage you to follow the service's development on the OSDU Gitlab.
Description
The OSDU Geospatial Consumption Zone (GCZ) is a service that enables enhanced management and utilization of geospatial data. The GCZ streamlines the handling of location-based information. It abstracts away technical complexities, allowing software applications to access geospatial data without needing to deal with intricate details. By providing ready-to-use map services, the GCZ facilitates seamless integration with OSDU-enabled applications.
Create an App Registration in Microsoft Entra ID
To deploy the GCZ, you need to create an App Registration in Microsoft Entra ID. The App Registration is to authenticate the GCZ APIs with Azure Data Manager for Energy to be able to generate the cache of the geospatial data.
- See Create an App Registration in Microsoft Entra ID for instructions on how to create an App Registration.
- Grant the App Registration permission to read the relevant data in Azure Data Manager for Energy. See How to add members to an OSDU group for further instructions.
Setup
There are two main deployment options for the GCZ service:
- Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS): Deploy the GCZ service on an AKS cluster. This deployment option is recommended for production environments. It requires more setup, configuration, and maintenance. It also has some limitations in the provided container images.
- Windows: Deploy the GCZ service on a Windows. This deployment option recommended for development and testing environments, as it's easier to set up and configure, and requires less maintenance.

Important
The current deployment of GCZ using AKS is limited to a default configuration of included schemas, please see OSDU GitLab for information regarding the supported schemas. To add or change schemas (i.e. newer versions) a custom container image will need to be created.
Prerequisites
- Azure Subscription. If you don't have an Azure subscription, create a free account.
- Azure Kubernetes Cluster (AKS) with virtual network integration. See Create an Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) cluster and Azure Container Networking Interface (CNI) networking for further instructions.
- Azure Cloud Shell or Azure CLI, kubectl, and Git CLI.

For more environment variables, see the OSDU GitLab documentation.
Validate the configuration files for the GCZ Provider and Transformer by opening the configuration files in a text editor and updating the values if needed.
- Provider:
C:\gcz\gcz-provider\gcz-provider-core\config\koop-config.json
- Transformer:
C:\gcz\gcz-transformer-core\config\application.yml
Important
If you make changes to the schemas in the configuration files, you have to make sure that those schemas are represented in both of the configuration files.
- Provider:
(optional) Install Python Dependencies (only required for Well Log Interpolation).
pip install -r C:\gcz\gcz-transformer-core\src\main\resources\script\requirements.txt --no-index --find-links python-dependencies
Start the GCZ Transformer.
C:\gcz\transformer\transformer.bat local
Build the GCZ Provider.
cd C:\gcz\gcz-provider\gcz-provider-core npm install npm start
By default the Provider is listening on http://localhost:8083
and the Transformer is listening on http://localhost:8080
.
Publish GCZ APIs publicly (optional)
If you want to expose the GCZ APIs publicly, you can use Azure API Management (APIM). Azure API Management allows us to securely expose the GCZ service to the internet, as the GCZ service doesn't yet have authentication and authorization built in. Through APIM we can add policies to secure, monitor, and manage the APIs.
Prerequisites
- An Azure API Management instance. If you don't have an Azure API Management instance, see Create an Azure API Management instance.
- The GCZ APIs are deployed and running.
Important
The Azure API Management instance will need to be injected into a virtual network that is routable to the AKS cluster to be able to communicate with the GCZ API's.
Add the GCZ APIs to Azure API Management
Download the GCZ OpenAPI specifications
Download the two OpenAPI specification to your local computer.
Open each OpenAPI specification file in a text editor and replace the
servers
section with the corresponding IPs of the AKS GCZ Services' Load Balancer (External IP).servers: - url: "http://<GCZ-Service-External-IP>/ignite-provider"
Add the GCZ APIs to Azure API Management
Navigate to your Azure API Management service in the Azure portal.
In the left-hand navigation pane, select APIs.
Select + Add API.
Select OpenAPI.
Select Select a file and upload the
gcz-openapi-provider.yaml
file.In the API URL suffix field, enter
ignite-provider
.Select Create.
Repeat the steps for the
gcz-openapi-transformer.yaml
file, but usegcz/transformer/admin
as the API URL suffix.
Configure policies
Next we need to configure the policies to validate the JSON Web Tokens (JWT).
You need the following information:
- Your Microsoft Entra ID tenant ID.
- The Azure Data Manager for Energy client ID (or token-issuing client ID if separate).
Note
If you have multiple App Registrations issuing tokens, you can add multiple <application-id>
elements to the <client-application-ids>
element.
In the newly created
Geospatial Consumption Zone - Provider
API, make sure All operations is selected.Under Inbound processing, select ... and then Code editor.
Paste the following policy definition in the editor:
<policies> <!-- Throttle, authorize, validate, cache, or transform the requests --> <inbound> <base /> <validate-azure-ad-token tenant-id="%tenant-id%" failed-validation-httpcode="401"> <client-application-ids> <application-id>%client-id%</application-id> </client-application-ids> </inbound> <!-- Control if and how the requests are forwarded to services --> <backend> <base /> </backend> <!-- Customize the responses --> <outbound> <base /> </outbound> <!-- Handle exceptions and customize error responses --> <on-error> <base /> </on-error> </policies>
Replace
%tenant-id%
with your Microsoft Entra ID tenant ID, and%client-id%
with the Azure Data Manager for Energy client ID.Select Save.
Repeat the steps for the
Geospatial Consumption Zone - Transformer
API.
Testing the GCZ service
Download the API client collection from the OSDU GitLab and import it into your API client of choice (for example, Postman).
Add the following environment variables to your API client:
PROVIDER_URL
- The URL to the GCZ Provider API.AMBASSADOR_URL
- The URL to the GCZ Transformer API.access_token
- A valid ADME access token.
To verify that the GCZ is working as expected, run the API calls in the collection.
Next steps
After you have a successful deployment of GCZ, you can:
- Visualize your GCZ data using the GCZ WebApps from the OSDU GitLab.
Important
The GCZ WebApps are currently in development and does not support authentication. We recommend deploying the WebApps in a private network and exposing them using Azure Application Gateway or Azure Front Door to enable authentication and authorization.
You can also ingest data into your Azure Data Manager for Energy instance:
