Cloud access use cases

[bsipocz]

This issue is to collect the use case scenarios that may exist and a subset that we plan to support:

• authenticated with AWS credentials

  • access public data from any regions
  • access public data from their region
  • access data requiring authentication
    • proprietary data, access costs are still on the provider side (same as with public data)
    • requestor pays access (e.g. cross regions)

• anonymous, not having AWS credentials

  • access public data from any regions
  • access public data from their region
  • access data requiring authentication

users can be on AWS (e.g. with a jupyterhub), or they can be on their computer (inc. non-cloud servers).

Same topic, take from @trjaffe

Use cases:
* User on Fornax
* User on AWS in US east
* User on AWS in US west
* User on university compute cluster, laptop, whatever.

• And all of the above with
  • Data free to any region
  • Data free only w/in same region

[trjaffe]

Do I understand correctly that a user who is logged in to our Fornax JupyterHub platform and authenticated through our system (not AWS) inherits the credentials of the Fornax account? Or are they anonymous unless they have their own? Or is this a design decision we need to make about Fornax?
