Standing up the SEFSC VIAME Web in GCP

An overview of the procedural steps needed to make this a reality

The following pages summarize our experience at the Southeast Fisheries Science Center (SEFSC) with standing up VIAME in the NOAA Fisheries Cloud. This process was a team effort involving local SEFSC staff together with line office staff at NOAA Fisheries headquarters, and scientists and Information Technology (IT) personnel alike. We categorize the process into parts, not to be confused with the onboarding steps that OCIO now lists. We also provide a rough timeline of the process for context and perspective.

The NOAA Fisheries Cloud Program Office has built out their informational pages substantially since our project was started. Many of these resources would have been helpful to us at the outset, but were not yet available. New cloud projects should start there, especially the onboarding process and overview pages.
