MOSIP on AWS: Transforming digital identity for modern governments

According to the World Bank’s Identification for Development (ID4D) initiative, approximately 850 million people globally don’t have official identification. This prevents citizens from access to essential services including healthcare, education, and social benefits. To address these challenges, Atos and AWS have collaborated on an innovative cloud-based digital identity system using the Modular Open-Source Identity Platform (MOSIP), making these systems more accessible, secure, and scalable than ever before.

Maximizing EC2 Spot Instance reliability for Nextflow on AWS Batch with Memory Machine Batch

AWS partners with providers of innovative solutions such as MemVerge, an AWS Partner Network (APN) Advanced Technology Partner, whose Memory Machine Batch (MMBatch) technology complements AWS Batch by providing advanced checkpointing capabilities for EC2 Spot Instances. In this post, we look at how MemVerge’s technology can overcome the challenges of interrupted pipelines by enabling pipelines that were interrupted mid task to start from where they left off, regardless of Spot Instance reclaims. We’ll also show how MemVerge’s Batch Viewer and proven best practices empower researchers to visualize their workloads, identify bottlenecks, and apply smart strategies that make their pipelines more efficient, resilient, and cloud-optimized.
