GEE Integration

[kevinlacaille]

Create a notebook walking a user through GEE integration with Planet data.
Story: This is how you order data from Planet and delivery it into GEE.
For a blog post: Here are a few fun operations, once in GEE (NDVI, NDWI, mosaicing tool, etc.); cool EE integration visualizations; code snippets from SDK notebook; JSON example; CLI example
Steps:

• Get GEE account
• Get GCS credentials
• Create cloud config JSON with GEE destination
• Order data and have it delivered to GEE destination

A one thing to note:

• For now we should recommend the use of --no-stac in the CLI, and whatever the python equivalent is, as there's a bug in Planet's GEE ingestion, which likely won't be resolved super soon. But we should plan on it being resolved and then be able to update docs in the future.

I think the core articulated here is right on, and I'd focus on getting to that end-to-end with blog post and doc update first. But if there's additional time it could be nice to expand in some different directions:

• Make a CLI tutorial - the same core JSON will be the same, the core is teaching people that JSON, but CLI people should be able to call planet orders create with it and then download it. I'd just put that directly in the docs, not as a notebook.
• Basemaps in orders - many users of this will be NICFI, and NICFI just has access to basemaps, so would be good to at least have one sample call that does basemaps.
• How to do 'self-ingest' - like deliver to a google cloud bucket and then register it in GEE on your own (but point people on how to register). A user I talked to on the CLI was asking about it - seems like our GEE ingestion doesn't really expose where it goes, and I'm not sure if it gets ingested or registered, etc. Some people want more control - to know they have a COG in their bucket, which they can also use in GEE.

Also, it looks like GEE supports clip & harmonize - https://developers.planet.com/docs/integrations/gee/delivery/#supported-raster-operations. I'd definitely make the example using both of those operations (and mention how other operations aren't supported...).

Their docs look pretty good overall, so I think the beginning of the notebook will be referring people to how to get things set up. Once it's set up it looks to be a pretty simple call.

Created an SDK ticket for custom SA credentials support.
