Data to Action: Increasing the Use and Value of Earth Science Data and Information: For 20 years, ESIP meetings have brought together the most innovative thinkers and leaders around Earth observation data, thus forming a community dedicated to making Earth observations more discoverable, accessible and useful to researchers, practitioners, policymakers, and the public.
The ESIP Summer Meeting has already taken place, but check out the ESIP Summer Meeting Highlights Webinar: https://youtu.be/vbA8CuQz9Rk.
This workshop is structured to provide Earth scientists and practitioners with an authentic experience in making use of current cloud computing resources and related tools and machine learning services available. Participants should bring their own computers and plan on working through a use case and complete some data analysis on the cloud.
Clouding computing is very powerful, yet complicated to set up even with people who are familiar with the tools. Provides insight into the world of cloud computing - lots of good concepts and vocab.
We need to consider security issues when setting up VMs, particularly when dealing with controlled networks like at government institutions.
Amazon Machine Images (AMI) can be a useful tool for reproducibility of instances in the AMS structure. This produces a snapshot of an instance in time so that parameters can be replicated.
