At SC23 in Denver, Amazon Web Services announced the Research and Engineering Studio on AWS, an open source, web-based portal for administrators to manage cloud-based research and engineering environments. Here we interview AWS’s Debra Goldfarb, Director, AWS HPC Products and Strategy, and Brendan Bouffler, AWS Head of Developer Relations, HPC Engineering. They explain how scientists and engineers can create and connect to virtual desktops with a range of pre-installed applications, shared data and collaboration tools.
With RES, administrators can define permissions, set budgets and monitor resource utilization spending limits through a single web interface. As Goldfarb says here, using RES, scientists and engineers can visualize data and run interactive applications without cloud expertise.
