[AWIPS #ALX-805830]: Application to join the AWIPS-II Beta Testing Program

Hello Vanu,

Unidata AWIPS II 14.2.1 is now available to download for beta testing.  This 
non-operational version of AWIPS II runs on 64-bit Red Hat and CentOS 6, and is 
provided as tarball archive and via remote yum repository.

See the Unidata AWIPS II software page for more information:

http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/awips2/

Full installation instructions can be found here:

http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/awips2/doc/install.html 

For beta testers, we have made available an EDEX Data Server in the Microsoft 
Azure cloud,  which you can connect to at edex-azure.unidata.ucar.edu (read the 
above linked installation instructions carefully).

This is a *testing* server only, for us to investigate performance.  Data 
availability has no guarantee, services may be stopped or restarted without 
notification, load times may grow long with many simultaneous connections, and 
so forth.  Models from NGRID and CONDUIT are available, as are Satellite 
imagery from UNIWISC and NIMAGE feeds, upper air and surface observations, and 
watches and warnings and other text products. 

Also note, this cloud server does not offer NEXRAD level 3 site products, 
instead we have made available FNEXRAD composite (GINI satellite) images for 
DHR, DVL, EET, HHC and more, which can be displayed in NCP and D2D.

Data availability on this cloud instance is limited, therefore we encourage you 
to install your own EDEX Data Server, and configure the products you would like 
in the LDM files etc/ldmd.conf and etc/pqact.conf (installed by the awips2-ldm 
RPM).

Thank you for your participation and please feel free to ask any questions!
