Ok.. never used AWS, actually, I didn't know S3 holds the information. I guess I will have to read some how-to
Long term though we plan to move dataset storage over to S3 as well.
Mmm... I've just had a chat with an AWS engineer, he told me that every operation on S3-stored data goes through a download/upload process... isn't that a PITA for data analysis? I guess S3 is for "static" data
EBS has limits, S3 is more durable and scalable.
Which limits (in addition to the 1 Tb size)? I know these are not Galaxy-related questions but you are the best people I can ask :-)
