We are excited to announce AWS HealthOmics private workflows now support file systems that dynamically scale with your workflow. AWS HealthOmics is a fully managed service that empowers healthcare and life science organizations to store, query, analyze omics data to generate insights to improve health and drive scientific discoveries. With this release, customers can now choose between static and dynamic run storage options.

Dynamic run storage automatically scales storage up and down based on file system utilization during a private workflow run and ensures your workflow always has sufficient storage provisioned. This enables faster workflow startup times and is ideal for both small workflows that need to run quickly and iterative development cycles during new workflow prototyping.

Dynamic run storage is supported in the following AWS HealthOmics regions: US East (N. Virginia), US West (Oregon), Europe (Frankfurt, Ireland, London), Asia Pacific (Singapore) and Israel (Tel Aviv). To get started using dynamic run storage, see the Running Workflows section in the AWS HealthOmics documentation.
