GalaxyCloudRunner: enhancing scalable computing for Galaxy

SummaryThe existence of more than 100 public Galaxy servers with service quotas is indicative of the need for an increased availability of compute resources for Galaxy to use. The GalaxyCloudRunner enables a Galaxy server to easily expand its available compute capacity by sending user jobs to cloud resources. User jobs are routed to the acquired resources based on a set of configurable rules and the resources can be dynamically acquired from any of 4 popular cloud providers (AWS, Azure, GCP, or OpenStack) in an automated fashion. Availability and implementationGalaxyCloudRunner is implemented in Python and leverages Docker containers. The source code is MIT licensed and available at https://github.com/cloudve/galaxycloudrunner. The documentation is available at http://gcr.cloudve.org/.

Galaxy-Kubernetes integration: scaling bioinformatics workflows in the cloud

Making reproducible, auditable and scalable data-processing analysis workflows is an important challenge in the field of bioinformatics. Recently, software containers and cloud computing introduced a novel solution to address these challenges. They simplify software installation, management and reproducibility by packaging tools and their dependencies. In this work we implemented a cloud provider agnostic and scalable container orchestration setup for the popular Galaxy workflow environment. This solution enables Galaxy to run on and offload jobs to most cloud providers (e.g. Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud or OpenStack, among others) through the Kubernetes container orchestrator. AvailabilityAll code has been contributed to the Galaxy Project and is available (since Galaxy 17.05) at https://github.com/galaxyproject/ in the galaxy and galaxy-kubernetes repositories. https://public.phenomenal-h2020.eu/ is an example deployment.
