Bioinformatics services to Cloud - Using Containers Solutions

[ypriverol]

Hi all:

@pcm32 @mbdebian and I have started a specification from biocontainers about how to move bioinformatics services, databases to cloud following some guidelines.

1- I have created a repository that will contain (with the same structure that we have for tools containers) all the service solutions.

2- We will work with a couple of examples that can be used as a reference for service solutions based on the following technologies:

2.1 - Docker compose and Docker Swarm 
2.2 - Kubernetes Heml charts 

Please let us know if you are interested in any particular service.

@pcm32 @mbdebian here a possible list of services to start:

• [ ] Biocontainers - API and pipelines (heml)
• [ ] https://github.com/NanoCAN/Docker-HTS-platform (http://europepmc.org/abstract/MED/28600904)
• [ ] Reactome
• [ ] Arkheia (https://github.com/antolikjan/Arkheia)
• [ ] ENSEMBL
• [ ] Identifiers.org (Added by Manuel)

[mbdebian]

Let’s get identifiers.org on the list as well. We already have a lot of work done in the direction of making the whole platform deployable by anyone. Probably a webinar like session on the identifiers.org architecture could be something of interest.

@mbdebian already added. Good suggestion.
