Announcing Cross Account Data Store Read Access for AWS HealthOmics

We are excited to announce that AWS HealthOmics sequence stores now support cross account read access to simplify data sharing and tool integration. AWS HealthOmics is a fully managed service that empowers healthcare and life science organizations to store, query, analyze omics data to generate insights to improve health and drive scientific discoveries. With this release, customers can enable secure data sharing with partners, while maintaining auditability and compliance frameworks.

Cross account reading for S3 API enables customers to write resource policies to manage sharing and restrict data reading based on their needs. Through the use of tag propagation and tag-based access control, users can create policies that share read access beyond their account while having a scalable mechanism to granularly restrict files based on their compliance structures. In addition, S3 access logs can be used to audit and validate access ensuring the data customers manage remains properly controlled.

Cross account S3 API access is now supported in all regions where AWS HealthOmics is available: US East (N. Virginia), US West (Oregon), Europe (Frankfurt, Ireland, London), Asia Pacific (Singapore), and Israel (Tel Aviv).
