Description

Given the change in DAAC bucket policies, we may want to add a page to https://docs.openveda.cloud/ to recommend the use of either earthdata login (probably preferable given it's completely free) or the requester pays "requester" flag (perhaps only in special cases where short term access keys won't work).

I think it's fine to wait a bit until the requester pays policy is rolled out to more DAACs - to wait until the "soft launch" becomes a "hard launch".

A question to answer: using requester pays, does this unlock access from anywhere (e.g. your laptop)

Curious your thoughts @wildintellect @anayeaye @smohiudd

Research direction

Start at https://docs.openveda.cloud/ and review the existing guidance on DAAC bucket access before choosing where the new page belongs. Document when to use Earthdata Login versus the requester-pays flag, explain whether requester-pays works from a laptop, and reflect the policy rollout caveat.
