AWS HealthOmics now supports Nextflow profiles

AWS HealthOmics Nextflow Profiles Support

AWS HealthOmics now supports Nextflow profiles, enabling customers to activate predefined execution settings at runtime. This feature allows for the activation of reusable settings without modifying workflow source code, facilitating easier switching between execution settings.

AWS HealthOmics is a HIPAA-eligible service that helps healthcare and life sciences customers accelerate scientific breakthroughs at scale with fully managed bioinformatics workflows.

With Nextflow profiles, you can separate platform-specific settings from core workflow logic, switch between development and production settings without creating separate workflow definitions, and reduce errors from manual edits. This feature accelerates workflow portability and saves time when scaling from development to production.

What to do

• Activate predefined execution settings using Nextflow profiles.
• Switch between development and production settings without modifying workflow source code.
• Reduce errors from manual edits and accelerate workflow portability.

Nextflow profiles are available in all AWS HealthOmics Regions: US East (N. Virginia), US West (Oregon), Europe (Frankfurt, Ireland, London), Israel (Tel Aviv), and Asia Pacific (Singapore, Seoul).
