Namespaces

Amazon Genomics CLI uses namespacing to prevent conflicts when there are multiple users, contexts, and projects in the same AWS account and region.

In any given account and region, an individual user may have many projects with many deployed contexts all running at the same time without conflict as long as:

1. No other user with the same Amazon Genomics CLI username exists in the same account and region.
2. All projects, used by that user, have a unique name.
3. All contexts within a project have a unique name.

Shared Project Definitions

Project definitions can be shared between users. A simple way to achieve this is by putting the project YAML file and associated workflow definitions into a source control system like Git. If two users in the same account and region start contexts from the same project definition, these contexts are discrete and include the Amazon Genomics CLI username in the names of their respective infrastructures.

Therefore, the following combination are allowed:

userA -uses-> ProjectA -to-deploy-> ContextA
userB -uses-> ProjectA -to-deploy-> ContextA

In the above example it is useful to think of these as two instances of Context A. Both share the same definition but the instances do not have the same infrastructure.

Tags

All Amazon Genomics CLI infrastructure is tagged with the application-name key and a value of agc Aside from the core account infrastructure, all deployed infrastructure is tagged with the following key value pairs:
