Cloud Ready HDF5

The HDF Group understands the importance of enabling HDF in the cloud.  In the last decade, we have added the ROS3 VFD for read-only access to HDF5 files on S3, defined a cloud-optimized HDF5 file format (CoHDF5), and developed HSDS (a REST-based service for HDF data).  But what are the most important things to tackle going forward?  In this talk we discuss five possible projects that would advance the capabilities of HDF in the cloud.  All are in the early ideation stage.  Does the community feel that these are the right priorities?  Come listen, and let us know what you think.
