AWS HealthOmics now available in two additional AWS Regions

AWS HealthOmics offers fully managed bioinformatics workflows for research and drug discovery, now available in the Tokyo and Ohio Regions, enabling customers to build genomics data analysis pipelines using Nextflow, WDL, and CWL.

AWS HealthOmics private workflows are now available in the Asia Pacific (Tokyo) and US East (Ohio) Regions, expanding access to fully-managed bioinformatics workflows for research, drug discovery, and agriculture science initiatives with regional compliance requirements. AWS HealthOmics is a HIPAA-eligible service that helps healthcare and life sciences customers accelerate scientific breakthroughs with fully managed bioinformatics workflows. With HealthOmics private workflows, customers can build and scale genomics data analysis pipelines using familiar domain-specific languages including Nextflow, WDL, and CWL, enabling healthcare and life sciences customers to focus on scientific discovery rather than infrastructure management. HealthOmics provides built-in features, such as Git integrations for version-controlled workflow development and third-party container registry support through Amazon ECR, to make it easy to migrate existing pipelines and accelerate development of new genomics workflows while maintaining full data provenance and compliance requirements. Private workflows are now available in the following AWS Regions: US East (N. Virginia, Ohio), US West (Oregon), Europe (Frankfurt, Ireland, London), Israel (Tel Aviv), and Asia Pacific (Seoul, Singapore, Tokyo).
