AWS HealthOmics now supports Elastic Throughput for dynamic run storage

Today, we are excited to announce throughput improvements to dynamic run storage for AWS HealthOmics. 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.

Dynamic run storage automatically scales storage capacity based on workflow needs. With this release, dynamic run storage now also scales throughput using Elastic Throughput mode on Amazon Elastic File System. This feature is recommended for runs requiring faster start times, workflows with unpredictable storage requirements, and iterative development cycles, helping research teams reduce time-to-insight for time-sensitive genomic analyses.

Dynamic run storage with elastic throughput is now available 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 get started with dynamic run storage, see the documentation.
