OB.DAAC on-site to cloud transition

by alaroy » Thu Apr 24, 2025 1:05 pm America/New_York

Hi there!

I’ve seen in the forum announcements that OB.DAAC is beginning to transition from on-site servers to cloud services. I’d attach a link but the announcement appears to come and go at random…

Will the on-site to cloud changes impact the “file search api”?

If so roughly when will these changes happen?

Thank you in advance!

There are a lot of change underway and some of them, we are unable to predict. At present, we don't believe file search will be impacted. Data will remain available through direct data access, file_search utility, Level 3 & 4 browser, and any other resouces under our Quick Links from the Ocean Color navbar.

Thank you for your reply! It's good to know that you're planning to keep the file search API working.

I also definitely understand not being able to predict impending changes, especially with the current situation in the federal government. Thank you for all that you do to help us users, it is very much appreciated. <3
