Abstract
In the two years since the Fall 2019 meeting, NOAA/NESDIS completed two
significant projects whose goal was to prototype an enterprise data
management system in the cloud. The two pilot efforts, run by the NESDIS
Cloud Integrated Project Team, were completed in March of 2020 and March
of 2021. A significant portion of those pilot efforts has been
operationalized into what is known as the NESDIS Common Cloud Framework
(NCCF). The NCCF is now up and running and capable of securely ingesting
data and generating operational products. Another effort, the NESDIS
Cloud Archive Project, picked up the unfinished work of the NESDIS cloud
pilots and is focused on delivering an end-to-end cloud archive
prototype in late 2021, with the goal of operationalizing that cloud
archive capability into the NCCF in 2022. The current status of these
efforts will be presented, including a technical focus on how NESDIS
plans to archive data using commercial cloud services.
