This is an Alpha release of Google Genomics API. This feature might be changed in backward-incompatible ways and is not recommended for production use. It is not subject to any SLA or deprecation policy. |
The API provides an easy way to create, run, and monitor command-line tools on Google Compute Engine running in a Docker container. You can use it like you would a job scheduler.
The most common use case is to run an off-the-shelf tool or custom script that reads and writes files. You may want to run such a tool over files in Google Cloud Storage. You may want to run this independently over hundreds or thousands of files.
The typical flow for a pipeline is:
You can submit batch operations from your laptop, and have them run in the cloud. You can do the packaging to Docker yourself, or use existing Docker images.
pip install --upgrade google-api-python-client
