Or\n  perhaps you don't deal with workflows but are looking for a solution to run\n  individual compute jobs on cloud infrastructure? Sure, that's possible, too!\n- Reproduce your analysis with just a few button clicks to increase your\n  confidence - or why not reproduce _other people's_ analysis to build on top\n  of it?\n- Tired of collecting metadata about your data and analyses? Our products help\n  in digitizing and, to some extent, automating a lot of this work!\n\n### Workflow engine developers\n\n- You would like to write a new workflow engine but are scared of having to\n  implement compute backends for a wide array of diverse IT infrastructure\n  solutions? Or you already wrote one but have a hard time to maintain your\n  compute backends and keep up with the technologies? Our tools allow you to\n  focus on writing the code that interpretes your workflows, generates your\n  DAGs and schedules execution - by (almost) _any_ backend! Talk to us about\n  implementing a TES client for your product.\n- You would like to increase your user base and make it easy for people to\n  run workflows in your language? Talk to us about implementing a WES shim\n  around your new or existing engine.\n\n### IT infrastructure specialists \u0026 system administrators\n\n- You are developing IT compute infrastructure solutions and you would like to\n  increase their adoption? Talk to us about implementing a TES shim around your\n  prodcuts and allow them to be hooked up to the federated compute networks\n  that we help to build - and which we project will handle a lot of the big\n  data analysis in the personalized medicine sector and beyond!\n- You are managing a compute cluster or data center at a university, hospital,\n  research center or in a company? Talk to us about implementing or deploying\n  a TES or DRS instance to add your nodes or data to the network. Consumers of\n  our services will be able to access them without hassle!\n\n## FAIR infrastructure\n\n***Section coming soon!***\n\n## Supported projects\n\nWe provide services and technical support for the following projects and\ninitiatives, which in turn test our products and drive future development.\nCheck out the links for more details:\n\n- [1+ Million Genomes][million-genomes] initative\n- [ELIXIR Human Data][elixir-human-data] community\n- [ELIXIR Marine Metagenomics][elixir-marine-metagenomics] community\n- [ELIXIR Rare Diseases][elixir-rare-diseases] community\n\n## Collaborators\n\nApart from the [GA4GH Cloud][ga4gh-cloud-ws] community as a whole, we are\nworking together closely with the following projects that develop similar\nservices:\n\n- [WES2Galaxy][collab-galaxy-wes]: thin [GA4GH Workflow Execution\n  Service][ga4gh-wes] layer for the [Galaxy Project][galaxy]\n- [SAPPORO][collab-sapporo]: web portal for [GA4GH Workflow Execution\n  Service][ga4gh-wes]-based execution of workflows for the analysis of\n  sensitive data hosted at the [DNA Databank of Japan (DDBJ)][loc-ddbj], Japan\n\n## Contact\n\n[![Chat][badge-chat]][badge-url-chat]\n\nAlso see the [list of individual members][elixir-cloud-members] to see some\nactual people involved in this project, including contact information.\n\n[badge-chat]: \u003chttps://img.shields.io/static/v1?label=chat\u0026message=Slack\u0026color=ff6994\u003e\n[badge-license]: \u003chttps://img.shields.io/badge/license-Apache%202.0-blue.svg\u003e\n[badge-url-chat]: \u003chttps://join.slack.com/t/elixir-cloud/shared_invite/zt-1r9z32xg5-GgRguOCqsgEHtB~dN2wfZg\u003e\n[badge-url-license]: \u003chttp://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0\u003e\n[button-contribute]: images/button-contribute.png\n[button-resources]: images/button-resources.png\n[cloud-computing]: \u003chttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloud_computing\u003e\n[collab-galaxy-wes]: \u003chttps://github.com/bedroesb/WES2Galaxy\u003e\n[collab-sapporo]: \u003chttps://github.com/ddbj/SAPPORO\u003e\n[contributing]: CONTRIBUTING.md\n[cwl]: \u003chttps://www.commonwl.org/\u003e\n[elixir]: \u003chttps://elixir-europe.org/\u003e\n[elixir-cloud]: \u003chttps://elixir-europe.github.io/cloud\u003e\n[elixir-cloud-members]: \u003chttps://elixir-europe.github.io/cloud/categories/people.html\u003e\n[elixir-cloud-resources]: resources/resources.md\n[elixir-human-data]: \u003chttps://elixir-europe.org/communities/human-data\u003e\n[elixir-rare-diseases]: \u003chttps://elixir-europe.org/communities/rare-diseases\u003e\n[elixir-marine-metagenomics]: \u003chttps://elixir-europe.org/communities/marine-metagenomics\u003e\n[ga4gh]: \u003chttps://www.ga4gh.org/\u003e\n[ga4gh-cloud-ws]: \u003chttps://www.ga4gh.org/work_stream/cloud/\u003e\n[ga4gh-data-security-ws]: \u003chttps://www.ga4gh.org/work_stream/data-security/\u003e\n[ga4gh-driver-projects]: \u003chttps://www.ga4gh.org/how-we-work/driver-projects/\u003e\n[ga4gh-duri-ws]: \u003chttps://www.ga4gh.org/work_stream/data-use-researcher-identities-duri-2/\u003e\n[ga4gh-elixir]: \u003chttps://elixir-europe.org/news/elixir-and-ga4gh-expand-collaboration\u003e\n[ga4gh-roadmap]: \u003chttps://www.ga4gh.org/how-we-work/strategic-roadmap/\u003e\n[ga4gh-tes]: \u003chttps://github.com/ga4gh/task-execution-schemas\u003e\n[ga4gh-wes]: \u003chttps://github.com/ga4gh/workflow-execution-service-schemas\u003e\n[ga4gh-work-streams]: \u003chttps://www.ga4gh.org/how-we-work/workstreams/\u003e\n[galaxy]: \u003chttps://usegalaxy.org/\u003e\n[kube]: \u003chttps://kubernetes.io/\u003e\n[loc-ddbj]: \u003chttps://www.ddbj.nig.ac.jp/index-e.html\u003e\n[logo-elixir]: images/logo-elixir.png\n[logo-elixir-cloud]: images/logo-elixir-cloud.png\n[logo-ga4gh]: images/logo-ga4gh.png\n[million-genomes]: \u003chttps://ec.europa.eu/digital-single-market/en/european-1-million-genomes-initiative\u003e\n[present-cwl-wes]: \u003chttps://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1eEYJBzO6YaI8bREXzDIzCLkLFDqmESiDJz14ngAuiZU\u003e\n[present-cwlab]: \u003chttps://docs.google.com/presentation/d/14_yujGiU7hAitsXXQNmYYjQq1taeJ407NZOhCELTp2o/edit?usp=sharing\u003e\n[present-tesk]: \u003c\u003e\n[present-testribute]: \u003chttps://docs.google.com/presentation/d/14IJRKejeqRNU9qVfssp9ugFtuV49ZpWf18cnoZoESKo\u003e\n[repo-cwlab]: \u003chttps://github.com/CompEpigen/CWLab\u003e\n[repo-cwl-wes]: \u003chttps://github.com/elixir-cloud-aai/cwl-WES\u003e\n[repo-tesk]: \u003chttps://github.com/EMBL-EBI-TSI/TESK\u003e\n[repo-testribute]: \u003chttps://github.com/elixir-cloud-aai/TEStribute\u003e\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Felixir-cloud-aai%2Felixir-cloud-aai","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Felixir-cloud-aai%2Felixir-cloud-aai","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Felixir-cloud-aai%2Felixir-cloud-aai/lists"}
