bcbio-nextgen-vm is a companion project to bcbio-nextgen. We want to make the bcbio-nextgen pipeline a first class citizen of the cloud. The effort is a bit nascent. Good time to contribute. If you are looking for production quality and seemless, we are not there, yet.
- It will be common for people to use bcbio-nextgen-vm on their laptop to control their bcbio run in the cloud. [Aside: Historically, people have done the analysis on their laptop. We are moving away from this. ]
- This initial implementation targets AWS. There is strong demand for other cloud providers.
- We assume that connective is fast in the cloud. We understand that the last mile between the laptop and the cloud may be slow. We want to keep the footprint on the laptop small.
When designing software scenarios help us understand the scope and work flow for a category of users.
A biologist at a smaller research institution. To chase problems, they single-handedly create and administer a cluster of computers.
Larger research group will have an interdisciplinary team. This allows from someone to focus on system administration(aka devops). They will also need more features to support the group. For example, a method to secure the resources while provided access to the right people will be required. They will also want to explore new and/or customized technologies which can improve performance and capacity.
