AWS HealthOmics is now available in Asia Pacific (Seoul) Region

Today, AWS announces that AWS HealthOmics private workflows are now available in the Asia Pacific (Seoul) Region, expanding access to fully managed bioinformatics workflows for healthcare and life sciences customers in Korea. AWS HealthOmics is a HIPAA-eligible service that helps healthcare and life sciences customers accelerate scientific breakthroughs with fully managed bioinformatics workflows. HealthOmics enables customers to focus on scientific discovery rather than infrastructure management, reducing time to value for research, drug discovery, and agriculture science initiatives.

With private workflows, customers can build and scale genomics data analysis pipelines using familiar domain-specific languages including Nextflow, WDL, and CWL. The service provides built-in features such as call caching to resume runs, dynamic run storage that automatically scales with run storage needs, Git integrations for version-controlled workflow development, and third-party container registry support through Amazon ECR pull-through cache. These capabilities make it easier 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 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).
