Creating a Cloud Optimised Geotiffs (COGs) for raster photo imagery

This process outlines the process for creating Cloud Optimised Geotiffs suitable for hosting in services such as AWS S3. COGs enables more efficient workflows use cases such as fast access from Functions as a Services (E.g AWS Lambda), or comsumption into client desktop GIS systems (e.g QGIS). For more details on COGs please see https://www.cogeo.org/in-depth.html
