Hopefully someone from Esri Inc can answer this. I can imagine that the preferred architecture in terms of performance and scalability is having an extra site with role GIS Server next your existing base deployment. Yes, having this extra VM and GIS Server license will incur extra charges. By design cloud builder might prevent you from running map services accessing an enterprise geodatabase on your base deployment to enforce Esri best practices. I'm interested to hear whether this is indeed the case. Indeed you can achieve your goal by executing the steps you describe, but this takes more time and to me doesn't feel the way to go. Well, I'm curious to hear from others. Interesting question. ... View more

Hi Hector, Yes, it is possible. You will need to deploy a new site in cloud builder and choose "GIS Server". The option to do this is not available when you choose "ArcGIS Enterprise" to setup a base deployment. After adding a GIS Server to your base deployment or as standalone GIS Server, the Geodatabase button will not be greyed out Took me a while to figure that out... ArcGIS documentation need to be improved here. So this way you can register a database with your site. You can enable an Azure SQL Database as Enterprise Geodatabase. You can also register an existing SQL Server database in case you have SQL Server running on a virtual machine. When using Azure SQL as Enterprise Geodatabase it is required to use cloud builder to do this in order to have a fully supported environment. Cheers, Ernst ... View more

In ArcMap you can go to "Customize -> Add-In Manager" and click the Options tab. Here you can click Add Folder... and select the folder that contains the file "AttributeAssistant.esriAddIn". This fixed the issue for me. Hopefully it will work for you too! ... View more
