Abstract
NASA’s migration of science data products and services to AWS has sparked a debate on the best way to access science data stored in the cloud.  Given that a large portion of NASA’s science data is in the HDF5 format or one of its derivatives, a growing number of efforts are looking at ways to efficiently access H5 files residing in S3.  This presentation describes one of those efforts and argues for the creation of a standardized subset of the HDF5 specification targeting cloud environments.
