AWS HealthOmics now supports task level timeout controls for Nextflow workflows

AWS HealthOmics introduces support for the Nextflow time directive, which enables customers to set task level timeout controls to limit run duration for specific tasks. With this launch, customers can now set fine-grained controls for their Nextflow workflow tasks to enable automated run cancellation if specific tasks take longer than expected. AWS HealthOmics is a HIPAA-eligible service that helps healthcare and life sciences customers accelerate scientific breakthroughs with fully managed biological data stores and workflows.

The Nextflow time directive 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).

To learn more about workflows and the Nextflow time directive support, see the AWS HealthOmics documentation.
