AWS HealthOmics, a HIPAA-eligible managed service, added support to cache completed task outputs when workflows are cancelled. This feature stores intermediate files in customers’ S3 buckets, enabling resumption without re-running completed tasks, which streamlines debugging and iterative workflow development.

Available for Nextflow, WDL, and CWL workflows across multiple AWS regions, this enhancement helps researchers and bioinformaticians reduce costs and accelerate analysis by avoiding redundant computations during workflow restarts.
