AWS HealthOmics introduces VPC-connected workflows

AWS HealthOmics announces VPC-connected workflows, giving customers the ability to run bioinformatics pipelines that access AWS resources across regions and public internet resources through a customer’s Virtual Private Cloud (VPC). With this launch, life sciences customers no longer need to migrate their data and dependencies to the same AWS Region as their workflow before running analyses. AWS HealthOmics is a HIPAA-eligible service that helps accelerate scientific breakthroughs at scale with fully managed bioinformatics workflows.
This launch enables life sciences customers to develop and test bioinformatics workflows more quickly. Customers can design workflows that access publicly-hosted data sets as well as AWS resources in different regions without making changes to the workflow code or migrating data between regions. Customers can use new Configuration APIs to specify a VPC configured to access public internet resources to which HealthOmics can send and receive network traffic, making it easy to use different network configurations for different use cases. With Configuration APIs, you can add and remove public internet dependencies anytime. Networking settings are configured at the per-run level, allowing you to opt-in only the workflows that you want to be VPC connected. 
VPC-connected workflows 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 learn more about connecting workflows to your VPC, see the HealthOmics documentation.
