HEC-FIA Cloud Compute Plugin Development

The team will develop a cloud compute plugin for HEC-FIA to add to the available suite of HEC plugins under the USACE Cloud Compute project.

Hybrid Multi-Cloud Support and Refined Workflows

The team will refine workflows for executing, monitoring, and managing cloud computations. They will also coordinate with CWBI to implement authentication and permission levels. Additionally, the team will assess the requirements and costs of using local servers alongside multiple cloud providers to support critical operations, comparing these against the needs of water management activities. This assessment will include development and testing, culminating in a summary report with findings and final recommendations.

Automated Computes

The team will develop and test tools and procedures for scheduling and managing automated computations. Additionally, they will evaluate Hybrid Cloud options and associated costs to support the daily automated generation of forecasts.
