 # Workshop Overview
 
-In this workshop, you will learn how to set up and manage a containerized research workflow with Extract, Load, Transform (ELT) features and a user interface (UI) to view and analyze outputs. We will review containerization fundamentals, ELT processes, and create an intuitive UI for end users.
+In this workshop, you will learn how to set up and manage to create containerized research workflows for scalability and reproducibility. You will work with the NOAA Global Surface Summary of the Day (GSOD) dataset from the AWS Open Registry. Within the container, you will learn to clean and manipulate the dataset to work with databases and create a web-based user interface (UI) to view and analyze outputs. Along the way, you will learn best practices and standards for creating containers that are replicable across multiple computing systems.
