NOAA CloudGIS Status Message

3:00 PM EDT April 20, 2022

On or about January 20, 2022,  NWS announced (Public Information Statement
22-04
<https://www.weather.gov/media/notification/pdf2/pns22-04_cloud_gis_web_services.pdf>)
they would provide users with access to new (see below for list of new
services) and existing Geographic Information Systems (GIS) web services
running on Amazon Web Services (AWS) public cloud (
https://mapservices.weather.noaa.gov. The GIS web services currently
available at https://idpgis.ncep.noaa.gov will continue to be available
from this location until the new system is fully transitioned to the cloud
system.  The public cloud hosted services will be an additional or parallel
offering of these services.

The technical functionality is the same between two systems but the
organizational presentation “look and feel” will be different.   GIS web
service users may begin to use the cloud hosted services by adding new or
updating calls to their applications.  The specific changes users will need
to make depend on the type of protocol or endpoints utilized.  The cloud
hosted services will initially be operationally supported Monday - Friday
7:00am to 5:00pm Eastern Time.

The mapping of on-premise services to the AWS cloud web services can be
found here:

https://www.weather.gov/media/notification/pdf2/on-premise_mapping_to_aws_cloud_gis_services_links.pdf

The services currently hosted on-premise have been operational since March,
2016.  As technology has evolved, the NWS has recognized that some
information systems are well-suited for hosting in the public cloud. GIS
services are one of these projects which can be more efficient if hosted in
the public cloud. This project is NWS’first step to providing GIS services
in the public cloud.

List of new services currently available only in the public cloud are below:

   Winter Storm Severity Index (WSSI) from WPC
