Title:

Migrating NASA Data Processing to the Cloud: The HelioSwarm Trade Study

Inefficiencies and modernization initiatives led the UNH Space Science Center to consider processing and storing NASA HelioSwarm Mission data in the Cloud. After further research, it was discovered that a hybrid adapt-to-Cloud configuration worked best since a full transition had similar costs to a fully on-premise system. In developing this plan, Amazon Web Services was the selected Cloud platform to host the processing on. In this study, many tools on Amazon Web Services were tested including AWS Batch vs. AWS Lambda for processing, AWS EC2 for Cloud compute capacity, and AWS EFS vs. S3 for Cloud storage. In addition to testing the functionality of the AWS tools, research into pricing strategies and HelioSwarm specific costs for each service was performed. Piecing together a set of tools that worked with the AWS framework and the HelioSwarm Mission's needs was the main objective as well as the main challenge. ​
