We release HelioCloud v1.1 'Akita' to the community under the MIT License. This latest build of HelioCloud enables any institution to set up temporary or permanent AWS-backed cloud environments with access to 1.5 Petabytes of NASA data (including SDO, MMS, CDAWeb, SuperMAG, and user-contributed datasets).
The compute and data assets exist within the AWS Cloud. Instead of copying data for local analysis, your compute power resides next to the data cache, providing high performance with little to no change in your workflow.
HelioClouds include a cost-efficient "science in your browser" Jupyter Notebook environment using Daskhub pre-built with core PyHC and other heliophysics Python software. The Notebooks support the use of git and Github for handling software collaboration. HelioClouds also provide the ability to launch additional machines ('instances') via the Portal for power users.
Data can be kept private in a user home directory, shared within an institutions HelioCloud via the provisioned shared disk, or shared across all HelioClouds via public 'AWS S3' storage disks. We include a release of the PyHC-based container as well as many science tutorials to jump-start typical heliophysics reasearch projects.
Added for this v1.1 release are:
