Application for AWS Research Grant #66

Open mfitzp opened 9 years ago

mfitzp commented 9 years ago

AWS provide grants for "free credit" for research purposes. I think we should consider applying for a grant to run a hosted version of Wooey for public use. The idea would be to host a suite of general-use scripts for scientific data processing ("biowoo") for public use.

I'll going to look into the limits/etc. for the grants and see what is feasible. Longer term we might want to consider getting commercial sponsorship (e.g. for scripts processing data from particular platforms) or support priority scheduling for paying users and encourage inclusion in project grants.

Next deadline for applications is 30th September.

I say give it a shot. I don't think we need to worry as much as the normal grant drudgery so it won't be an absurd amount of time for little chance of reward.

I know this is a super old post, but I wanted to mention that AWS has free tiers. We run about 10 Linux servers at the moment using their free stuff. As long as you don't hit certain limits, you're good.
