Hi All,
I’ve been working with groups that process NASA data (folks like @asteiker @betolink @andypbarrett @jinbow) to help move their workloads to the cloud. It turns out a common pattern for lots of workloads is a big parallel for-loop.
Here’s a blogpost where we wrote about this analysis pattern and discussed cloud performance and cost [Processing Terabyte-Scale NASA Cloud Data | Coiled](https://medium.com/coiled-hq/processing-terabyte-scale-nasa-cloud-datasets-with-coiled-70ab552f35ec) (Spoiler: it’s surprisingly cheap to churn through a bunch of cloud data when using spot instances, the right region, etc.)
Hopefully this can serve as a useful template for others with similar use cases

Just to mention that we are having a community call tomorrow to talk about Coiled-powered workflows for cloud data [Openscapes Community Call: NASA Earthdata Cloud with Coiled](https://openscapes.org/events/2023-11-28-coiled-openscapes/)
This call is open and it would be great if Pangeo folks can attend and give their 2c on this approach.
