Bring Your Own Data

In addition to public data services, xcube allows you to integrate your own datasets into the same framework. The built-in filesystem-based data stores enable access to:

  • Local datasets via "file"
  • Private S3 buckets via "s3"

This allows you to seamlessly combine external services and private datasets within the xcube Multi-Source Data Store.
