[ESIP-all] Microsoft Azure4Research Talk ---- Scale out your Research Computation using Microsoft Azure

Fri May 30 12:09:47 EDT 2014

Phil,

The EarthCube All Hands meeting agenda is not out yet, but I did submit a proposal for a ECC workshop and discussion. I look forward to fruitful collaboration of all cloud effort among ESIP, EarthCube and ESDSWG.

Best,
emily

We have had great talks from Amazon, Eucalyptus, and several other companies talks as well as cross agency briefing, e.g., GeoCloud. And we'll have Azure4Research from Weming next Monday. Many publications were also generated from these discussions. It is the right time to set the foundation for EarthCube to adopt cloud computing and we hope that we can include some of the best practices in the EarthCube cloud discussion.
