Enterprise Satellite Science Applications T2O Journey

The National Environmental Satellite, Data, and Information Service (NESDIS) in National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is moving to an enterprise ground capability in the cloud. This enterprise ground systems development is being led by the Office of Common Services (OCS) and follows the Scale Agile Framework with agile teams organized to support the transition of science products to operations. The NESDIS Common Cloud Framework (NCCF) provides NESDIS stakeholders a comprehensive framework for science team activities. In this presentation, we will introduce the Transition to Operations (T2O) journey of the enterprise satellite science applications into the NCCF. The journey begins in the science sandbox which is an environment in the cloud with virtual space designed for development and testing of scientific applications. Once a science team is onboarded into the science sandbox and has conducted their functional demonstration, then they move into the application migration phase. The migration phase involves moving applications, workload, and data to the NCCF operational environment. The migration phase will ensure that all systems and applications work harmoniously in the production environment. Once the application is in operations, the application will enter a maintenance and sustainment phase, marking the end of the journey.
