Workshop: Leveraging Amazon Web Services
Abstract: The network is the computer, especially when your data is already in the Cloud. This workshop will show how, without concern for the details of servers and storage, you can use just a few lines of code to run big geospatial batch jobs with help from the open source tool, Geospatial Data Abstraction Library (GDAL), and serverless compute and storage, Amazon Lambda and S3. To participate you will need an AWS account, and know at a minimum, how to create an S3 bucket and upload data to it. Most of the workshop will take place using an SSH session to a Linux machine. New to Linux? No need to worry, you can copy/paste commands from the workshop doc.
