CDS API Changes

[megham1nd]

Hello, it looks like CDS will be completely moving to CDS-Beta on September 26th, with legacy CDS no longer accessible after this date:
https://forum.ecmwf.int/t/the-new-climate-data-store-beta-cds-beta-is-now-live/3315

From their website, it appears the front-end, back-end, and cloud infrastructure will all be changing. How should we accommodate for this in the existing CDS data requests, such as in the example notebooks?

Any update on this ?

We may need to fix some dead-links in the notebooks. But should overall refer to ECMWFs documentation instead of reiterating it too much, since that risks going out of date.

That said, these are some notes I recently took on updating to the new API:
