AWS HealthOmics introduces batch run operations

AWS HealthOmics announces batch run submission, allowing customers to submit up to 100,000 runs of any given workflow in a single request. With this launch, customers can now submit large-scale genomics experiments with thousands of samples without the overhead of submitting and tracking individual runs one by one, reducing overhead and simplifying orchestration. AWS HealthOmics is a HIPAA-eligible service that helps healthcare and life sciences customers accelerate scientific breakthroughs with fully managed bioinformatics workflows.

Batch run submission enables customers to initiate multiple workflow runs with similar parameters simultaneously. All runs in a batch share a common configuration, with the option to override specific parameters for individual runs based on different sample inputs or parameter values. The batch run APIs provide full lifecycle management of batch processing workflows. Customers can use the new batch ID resource to track each submission, easily cancel or delete in bulk, and monitor batch progress. Batch resources enable customers to troubleshoot issues and maintain optimal resource utilization across large-scale automation pipelines.

Batch run operations are now available in all regions where AWS HealthOmics is available: US East (N. Virginia), US West (Oregon), Europe (Frankfurt, Ireland, London), Israel (Tel Aviv), Asia Pacific (Singapore), and Asia Pacific (Seoul). To get started with run batches in HealthOmics workflows, see the documentation.
