Amazon Web Services – Paper Title Page 28 customers. For more information on how to ta ke advantage of the Global Data Egress Waiver, please see here Peering with Global Research Networks Often times genomics research requires interaction with other research institutes that leverage common research networks, such as Internet2, ES.NET and o thers. By peering with Global Research Networks, AWS gives researchers robust network connections to the AWS cloud that are often orders of magnitude more performant than standard internet connections. These network connections allow for reliable movement of data between your home institution, distributed data collection sites, and AWS. For more information on the research networks AWS works with, please see here AMI Sharing Not only is shared data of high value to researchers and scientists in the genomi cs domain, but sharing tools and environments is critical in assuring that common experiment environments can be leveraged in efficient ways by collaborators and publication validators. A shared AMI is an Amazon Machine Image that an innovator created and made available for other collaborators to use. Instead of trying to replicate a research environment from scratch with all the tools and configurations necessary to replicate experiments, one can use a shared AMI that has the compone nts you need and then add custom content once the AMI instantiates as a live EC2 instance within a VPC. You can also share a specific AMI with a given collaborator's AWS Account, without making the AMI public. Public Datasets AWS is committed to collabor ation and offering more and more ways for our customers to gain valuable scientific insights to pivot and iterate off of. With this in mind, many of AWS' genomics customers and researchers have found high value in the Public Datasets program . The value add comes from integrating these datasets into the development of the genomic processing pipeline as a testbed for innovative solutions. When organizations make data open on AWS, scientists can access a nd analyze it, delivering innovative solutions to big challenges. AWS makes a variety of Public Data Sets available to researchers and the public to copy for free, and share amongst their colleagues. Common AWS sponsored open datasets that genomics custome rs find of high value are the following:
