Hi
I'm wondering if anyone has had experience running Galaxy using the
Amazon
"spot" EC2 instances? These instances are charged based on a bid
placed by
the user, and only run when the bid exceeds exceeds the current spot
price.
In other words, you pay a significantly reduced rate for cloud
capacity but
it runs intermittently. This is OK for certain applications but I'm
not
sure how that will work for Galaxy. Specifically, I'm interested in
using
Galaxy for Tophat analysis of RNA seq datasets. Any insight that
anyone has
will be helpful. Thanks!
Andy
