What is Service workbench on amazon web services?

Service Workbench on AWS

Service Workbench on AWS promotes infrastructure equity by providing the same analytical tools and level of access to researchers and students. The only infrastructure required to fully leverage this resource is a simple laptop and an internet connection.

SWB provides researchers and students with a user-friendly environment to configure and deploy their own secure cloud-computing environment in a few clicks. SWB is the first Apache 2.0 open-source native cloud computing platform that provides a modular and scalable solution to the supply of computing environments for researchers and students. The platform supplies students and research teams with a simple web application, empowering them to easily deploy and access any cloud workspace from a custom catalog of pre-configured and extendible) environments ( R, Jupyter Notebooks, Python, etc…) leveraging all AWS advanced data analysis tools and native security controls.

AIM-AHEAD Service Workbench (SWB)

SWB is the first open-source native cloud computing platform that provides a modular and scalable solution to the supply of research computing environments. The platform supplies research teams with a simple web application, empowering them to easily deploy and access any cloud workspace from a custom catalog of pre-configured environments leveraging all AWS AI/ML and native security controls.

SWB is a flexible and scalable cloud solution that promotes equitable access to the computational resources needed for AI/ML. Researchers have access to the compute power needed in a few clicks, regardless of the technical underlying complexity of it.

To get started with an analysis, end-users are only required to connect to the web application and select their desired configuration. The research workspace will be deployed in two clicks, selecting first the type of workspace and second the most applicable configuration for their analysis in terms of instance type, memory, CPUs, and GPUs.

Researchers will have access to the computing power they need, regardless of the technical underlying complexity of it. Moreover, there is a growing open community supporting various SWB workspaces, which enables the deployment of any type of computing workspaces.
