Reference architecture
From time to time a secondary analysis job will fail. AWS Step Functions has support for job retries and
try catch logic to handle job failures with custom code. To learn more about handling secondary analysis
task errors or failures, see Handling secondary analysis task errors and workflow failures (p. 24).
Create an operational dashboard to monitor the status of your secondary analysis workflow. AWS Step
Functions and AWS Batch are both integrated with Amazon CloudWatch so creating a secondary analysis
dashboard in Amazon CloudWatch is easy to do. To learn more about creating a secondary analysis
operational dashboard in Amazon CloudWatch, see Monitoring secondary analysis workflow status, cost,
and performance (p. 25).
Note
To access an AWS Solutions Implementation providing an AWS CloudFormation template to
automate the deployment of the solution in the AWS Cloud, see the Genomics Secondary
Analysis Using AWS Step Functions and AWS Batch Implementation Guide.
