Planned Activities

In FY25, the team will continue work towards the CWMS Cloud Migration MVP Plan and progress towards transitioning to the CWBI cloud in order to meet the March 2025 deadline to move off of the CPC/WPC.

LDM Web Application Development and Maintenance

CRREL staff will help support and maintain the deployment of the LDM web application in the CWBI environment.

Data Processing (SHEF Imports)

HEC will develop, implement, and maintain tools for ingesting and creating SHEF products. This work will include integrating the tools with LDM, to ingest data files from and send files to the National Weather Service.

Implementation of a Data Dissemination Process

The team will implement a process for disseminating data to outside organizations. This includes working with River Forecast Centers to help them utilize CDA and cwms-python to ingest needed data, as well as developing an event-based process for disseminating forecast data to outside partners. This could include the use of LDM, CDA/cwms-python, and SHEF_processing (python project).

Development of Documentation and Training Materials

The team will develop documentation and training materials to assist district staff in utilizing the LDM tools for both data processing and data dissemination.

Monitoring Tools

Integrate Services into Prometheus and GrafanaY$20,000 (HEC labor)

 

Develop Documentation and Training MaterialsY$5,000 (HEC labor)

 

Integrate Services into Prometheus and Grafana

The team will be developing a generalized monitoring service for all CWMS services in CWBI. Open-source tools will be used: the Prometheus monitoring system and the Grafana analytics and visualization platform.

Develop Documentation and Training Materials

The team will develop administrative documentation, especially for onboarding new team members.

CWBI Deployment

ActivityFunded (Y/N)CostDelivery Date
Preparation for DeploymentY

$20,000 (HEC labor)

 

Contracting Fees for Deployment AssistanceY

Preparation for Deployment

The team will ensure testing and validation of the services prior to deployment to the cloud. The team will also prepare system requirements and requests for deployment actions by the CWBI contractor.

Contracting Fees for Deployment Assistance

Support for services deployment to CWBI's production environment are provided by a contractor. For the deployment of new services, in particular the CWMS monitoring service, to DEV/TEST/PROD environments, funding is required to cover contractor labor.

Cloud Compute
