[kepler-users] bioKepler AMI released

[Purawat, Shweta]

We are pleased to announce the release of the bioKepler Amazon Machine Image (AMI).


The bioKepler AMI allows bioKepler and Kepler workflows to be executed on Amazon’s Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2).
The AMI includes bioKepler 1.0, a Kepler suite facilitating rapid development and scalable distributed execution of
bioinformatics workflows in Kepler while simplifying access to a wide range of bioinformatics tools executed locally or distributedly.
bioKepler contains a set of Kepler actors, called “bioActors”, that are specialized for running bioinformatics tools at scale along with
Kepler directors for distributed data-parallel (DDP) execution on Hadoop and Stratosphere engines.


The bioKepler AMI is built on CloudBioLinux which includes over 135 bioinformatics packages.
We have included additional tools and databases described here: http://weizhong-lab.ucsd.edu/bio-kepler<http://weizhong-lab.ucsd.edu/bio-kepler/>

The bioKepler website (http://www.biokepler.org<http://www.biokepler.org/>) provides more information about the bioKepler AMI including documentation
and a video about how to run it on EC2 (http://www.biokepler.org/using-biokepler-amazon-ec2-image).
