Making earth observation data available by using Amazon S3 is accelerating scientific discovery and enabling the creation of new products. Attend and learn how the scale and performance of Amazon S3 lets earth scientists, researchers, startups, and GIS professionals gather and analyze planetary-scale data without worrying about limitations of bandwidth, storage, memory, or processing power. Learn how AWS is being used to combine satellite imagery, social data, and telemetry data to produce new products and services. Learn also how Amazon S3 provides much more than storage, and how an open geospatial data lake on Amazon S3 can be used as the basis for planetary-scale applications built with Amazon EMR, Amazon API Gateway, and AWS Lambda. As part of this talk, AWS customer Digital Globe demonstrates how they use open data stored in S3 to distribute high-resolution satellite imagery to their customers around the world.
