EOEPCA+ Exploitation Platform: Hands on Deployment and Usage
2026-07-02 , info lab 2

EOEPCA+ provides an out-of-the-box solution for an EO Exploitation Platform that integrates open source components interfacing through open standards. Developed under an ESA project led by Telespazio, the EOEPCA Building Blocks cover the full scope of an exploitation platform, from data discovery and access, through processing and analytics to user workspace management.

This hands-on workshop introduces the core platform components comprising the EOEPCA solution, providing an end-to-end experience that deploys and demonstrates its capabilities within Kubernetes.

The workshop is perfect for beginners who have no prior EOEPCA knowledge and only basic Kubernetes familiarity, but also welcomes those who have already experimented with EOEPCA Building Blocks. Anyone interested in integrating the EOEPCA components into their Exploitation Platform, or reusing them for Ground Segment, EO Data Discovery, Processing, should join the session.

Participants will work through guided, browser-based tutorials hosted on our online platform. Each tutorial runs against a live Kubernetes environment provisioned in the cloud, no local software installation is required, just a laptop and a GitHub account.
The tutorials describe each step in context and provide the necessary commands to deploy, configure and utilise the platform components.

Our team will be on hand throughout to guide, troubleshoot and discuss how these components can be adapted for different deployment scenarios. Everything used in this workshop is fully open source and the tutorial source code is publicly available on GitHub.


What topics do you plan to cover in your workshop?:

Deployment and usage of EOEPCA Building Blocks for EO Exploitation Platforms, including data discovery, data access, processing, identity and access management, resource registration and workspace management.

Level of the workshop: 2: intermediate Pre-requirements for attendees:

A laptop and a GitHub account. No local software installation is required. All tutorials run on cloud-hosted Kubernetes environments accessed through the browser.

Coding knowledge required?:

Basic coding knowledge would be valuable but not necessarily required. Participants will follow guided tutorials that provide all necessary commands.
Basic familiarity with Linux and Kubernetes concepts is also helpful but not essential.
