Introduction
To get access to the lab AWS environment contact one of the Owners or Administrators.
In brief
Amazon Web Services (AWS) is a set of on-demand cloud-based products, including compute, storage, databases (and more). We have set up a shared AWS environment for the lab that provides a platform for running analyses, storing data, and sharing computational resources.
You will primarily be interacting with the lab’s AWS environment through three services: Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2), Elastic Block Store (EBS), and Simple Storage Service (S3). EC2 provides temporary virtual computers for running analyses. EBS provides the attached disk storage used by those computers while they are running. S3 provides long-term shared storage for data and results.
