The following provides guidance on how to assess and create cloud-optimized HDF5 and NetCDF4 files. This assumes one of those formats is a requirement, usually for archival purposes. If these formats are not a requirement, a cloud-native format like [Zarr](../zarr/intro.qmd) should be considered. If HDF5/NetCDF-4 formats _are_ a requirement, consider zarr-readable chunk indexes such as [kerchunk](../kerchunk/intro.qmd) and [VirtualiZarr](https://virtualizarr.readthedocs.io/en/latest/).

Cloud-optimized formats provide efficient subsetting without maintaining a service, such as [OpenDAP](https://www.opendap.org), [Hyrax](https://www.opendap.org/software/hyrax-data-server/) or [SlideRule](https://slideruleearth.io/).
