Request guidance to migrate existing Bioinformatics pipeline to AWS

There are several tutorials but it is difficult to know what to suggest. For community assistance may wish to share more details on the workflow and what it is migrating from, for example another cloud, on premises cluster. You may also wish to examine

• https://aws.amazon.com/health/lifesciences-partner-solutions/
• https://aws.amazon.com/government-education/research-and-technical-computing/research-cloud-program/

An example of possible solutions: https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/hpc/protein-structure-prediction-at-scale-using-aws-batch/

In addition to the links provided by @bakwms above, you should take a look at Amazon HealthOmics, a service for storing, processing, analyzing, and querying health and life sciences data. That page has links to documentation, FAQs, and customer case studies.

If you need more strategic help, AWS recently published "Modernizing your healthcare-data strategy", a prescriptive guidance solution which explains how to approach moving health data pipelines and workloads to the cloud. While this guidance talks about clinical data, the approaches it describes can also be used for bioinformatics processes.

If you've heard of HealthOmics and want to learn how it can be deployed with other AWS Services and products to create an end-to-end solution, the Genomics team has published "Guidance for Development, Automation, Implementation, and Monitoring of Bioinformatics Workflows on AWS":

This Guidance shows how you can build and run production-grade bioinformatics workflows at scale. Using AWS services for automation, workflow analysis, storage, and operational and cost observability, you can follow DevOps best practices to manage the lifecycle of your bioinformatics workflows. You can use this architecture as the foundation for your own infrastructure and update certain aspects as needed to integrate it with your environment and meet your needs.

Finally, I'd encourage you to reach out to your AWS account representative by clicking on the "Contact Us" link in the header of most pages on aws.amazon.com and tell them about your specific needs. They can provide you with training, specialized architectural support, and trusted partners who can help.

@bakwms, @paulegli - Thank you very much. This is very helpful. I appreciate it.

Hi,

These are all hands-on workshop links.
