Additional Information
@jhkennedy at ASF is also interested in exploring virtualization options. @maxrjones has offered to help. The core of this ticket is to demonstrate access from the MAAP platform via maap-py and earthaccess, using https and s3 temporary credentials. The virtualization investigation is a next steps in anticipation of future use cases.
