Theme: Cloud infrastructures for astronomical data analysis
The Event Horizon Telescope (EHT), a heterogeneous Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) array that captures horizon-scale resolution images of black holes, utilizes the Google Cloud Platform (GCP) to process its data and construct its images. Using cloud-native technologies such as Docker and Kubernetes, the collaboration was able to scale its analyses and process its data with bit-to-bit reproducibility. In this talk, I will briefly overview EHT's data pathway, describe how GCP was used by the collaboration, and address some technical challenges and their resolutions. I will also outline the future plans for the EHT computing infrastructure and data processing pipelines.
