Remote pipeline and AWS? Ben Bimber  2014-04-28 09:25
Status: Closed
 
Does anyone know if the is precedence for anyone using AWS or other cloud agents as remote servers in LabKey pipelines? It might be an appealing way for us to quickly ramp up/down our capacity.

If not, is there any particular obstacle to this (assuming our activemq server was accessible remotely)?

Thanks.

Hi Ben,

I think the biggest potential issue is having access to a shared file system between the web server and the remote servers, and doing this securely. If the remote server can see the same file system, and the JMS server, things will likely work fine.

Thanks,
Josh

Ben,

I also recommend that you use Amazon Virtual Private Cloud(https://www.labkey.org/announcements/home/Developer/Forum/thread.view?entityId=2c427806-b111-1031-83bd-6432661dac16&_anchor=9145) if possible.

Using VPC will give you an extra layer of security for the communication between your LabKey Server and the remote pipeline servers.
