last updated 2024 February 19
Introduction to Geospatial Capabilities on AWS
iHARP and AWS hosted its second set of Immersion Days on January 22 – 23, 2024. Researchers learned about AWS’s Geospatial capabilities and how to leverage the AWS platform to further iHARP Research abilities.
The event was fully virtual, below is a snapshot of the immersion days agenda. Both days were recorded, and subsequent recordings made accessible to iHARP members.**Please note some items from the agenda such as lunch and breaks, etc have been omitted from the above agenda**

Learn about how to build large-scale data processing solutions using serverless services such as AWS Step Functions, AWS Lambda and AWS Fargate. Utilizing the Distributed Map technique of Step Functions to execute same processing steps with up to 10,000 concurrency.
Lab: Climate Data Processing on AWS with ECS/Fargate
This workshop will step you through the key aspects of building a containerized Dask environment on AWS and performing some data analysis tasks that would be difficult to perform on a single machine (at least, they would take a long time unless you have a big machine!).
