3. Cloud Computing and AWS

4. Utility Computing
If computers of the kind I have advocated
become the computers of the future, then
computing may someday be organized as a
public utility just as the telephone system is a
public utility... The computer utility could
become the basis of a new and important
industry.!
!
—John McCarthy, speaking at the MIT Centennial in 1961!

5. What is Cloud Computing?
On-Demand!
Uniform!
Pay as you go!
Available!
http://aws.amazon.com/ko/what-is-cloud-computing/ !
"Cloud Computing", by
definition, refers to the
on-demand delivery of
IT resources and
applications via the
Internet with pay-as-
you-go pricing.

21. Listing on AWS Marketplace
Atlas comes bundled with
global street and satellite layers
and allows you to upload
custom layers from Mapbox
Studio. !
!
It includes Mapbox.js and Turf so you
can build interactivity, add data feeds,
and run GIS operations inside your
mapping applications.!

22. 2. Open GIS Data on AWS
New trends on GIS on Cloud!

23. Open data is data that can be used by anyone for any purpose for free.
What is open data?
Many of our customers, such as Esri, the Weather Company, and the
Climate Corporation, rely on quality open data as much as they rely on our
computing, storage, and other web services.

24. Amazon Web Services provides a comprehensive toolkit for
gathering, storing, analyzing, and working with data at any scale.
Open data on AWS
Amazon Elastic MapReduce
(Amazon EMR) provides the
Apache Hadoop analytics
framework as an easy-to-use
managed service.!
Amazon S3 lets you store
and retrieve any amount of
data, at any time, from
anywhere on the web. !
Amazon DynamoDB is a
fully-managed NoSQL
database service that makes
it cost-effective to store and
retrieve any amount of data.!

25. Making data open on AWS enables more innovation by making
data available for rapid access to our flexible and low-cost
computing resources.

26. The Weather Company saves $1 million per year
running its forecasting application on AWS
The Weather Company provides millions of people
with the world’s best weather forecasts,
content and data, every day.
Using AWS, TWC can scale as
necessary to handle constantly
changing workloads and maintain
our 11-millisecond response time.
Bryson Koehler
EVP, CTO, CIO, The Weather Company
”
“ • Needed a cost-effective, scalable
alternative to operating 13 data centers
with legacy systems.
• TWC ingests, stores, and analyzes
ingests 4 GB of weather data per
second from over 800 sources.
• Designed to handle more than 15 billion
API calls each day, at a rate of 150,000
per second.
• Reduced its on-premises IT
environment form 13 to 6 data centers.

32. 3. Landsat on AWS
New trends on GIS on Cloud!

33. To enable more innovation, AWS hosts a selection of datasets that
anyone can access for free. Data in our public datasets is available for
rapid access to our flexible and low-cost computing resources.
Public datasets on AWS
Earth Science!
NASA Earth Exchange!
(NASA NEX)!
Life Sciences!
1000 Genomes Project!
Internet Science!

34. The Landsat program is a joint effort of
the U.S. Geological Survey and NASA. It
is the longest running program to gather
Earth imagery from space and is
considered the gold standard for natural
resources satellite imagery.
Landsat

35. The Landsat program is a joint effort
of the U.S. Geological Survey and
NASA. It is the longest running
program to gather Earth imagery
from space and is considered the
gold standard for natural resources
satellite imagery.
It has traditionally been time-
consuming and expensive to
acquire, store, and analyze Landsat
data.
Landsat is big open data

36. We have committed to making up to
1 petabyte of Landsat imagery readily
available as objects on Amazon S3.
Now, anyone can analyze Landsat
data at web scale with no significant
up-front investment of time or capital
expense.
Landsat on AWS

37. Esri has created a tool to show how
ArcGIS Online can quickly visualize
Landsat data for live visualization and
analysis within the browser.
“These are not pre-generated cache
services limited to just visualization—
they are dynamic, high-performance
image services that perform on-the-fly
processing and dynamic mosaicking of
Landsat’s multi-spectral and multi-
temporal imagery.”
ESRI —Unlock Earth’s Secrets
http://www.esri.com/landsatonaws !

38. Landsat on AWS helped
Development Seed make
optimizations that make landsat-
util over 2× faster and allow for
more functionality.

39. MathWorks created a freely
downloadable MATLAB based tool for
accessing, processing, and visualizing
Landsat 8 data.
The tool allows MATLAB users to find
Landsat 8 scenes, analyze them, and
combine them with other sources of
GIS data for new visualizations.

40. Mapbox created Landsat-live, a
map that is constantly refreshed
with the latest satellite imagery
from NASA’s Landsat 8 satellite.
Creating a live Earth imagery
pipeline is possible because
Landsat imagery is available on
Amazon S3 within hours of
creation.
