Seqera Compute

Seqera Compute enables you to run pipelines and Studio sessions in Seqera Cloud in a fully managed and optimized AWS environment. Seqera automatically provisions and manages all the underlying resources, including AWS accounts, credentials, roles, compute environments, and S3 storage buckets, requiring minimal user configuration. Using prepaid credits enables control and visibility of the compute spend in each of your organization's workspaces.

Manage Seqera Compute credits​

Seqera Compute environments consume credits when running pipelines or Studio sessions. Credits are consumed for CPU time, memory and storage usage, and network costs. One Seqera Compute credit is equivalent to $1 (USD), and resources are charged at the following rates:

  • CPU time: 1 CPU/Hr = 0.1 credits
  • Memory: 1 GiB/Hr = 0.025 credits
  • Storage: 1 GB = 0.025 credits per month
note

Storage and network costs vary per region, charged at standard AWS rates. Data ingress and egress across regions incur additional costs.

View your Seqera Compute credit balance and spend under both the organization and workspace Settings tabs. Workspace settings show the credits spent in that workspace, whereas organization settings show the total credits spent in all workspaces within that organization.

Select Contact us to upgrade to request additional credits for your organization.

Create a Seqera Compute environment​

  1. In a workspace with Seqera Compute enabled, select Compute environments > New environment.

  2. Enter a descriptive name for this environment, such as Seqera Compute 1 (eu-west-1).

  3. Under Platform, select Seqera Compute.

  4. Select a target execution Region.

    info

    Seqera Compute is available in the following AWS regions:

    United States:

    • us-east-1 (Northern Virginia, USA)

    • us-west-2 (Oregon, USA)

    • us-east-2 (Ohio, USA)

    • us-west-1 (Northern California, USA)

    Europe:

    • eu-west-1 (Ireland)

    • eu-west-2 (London, UK)

    • eu-central-1 (Frankfurt, Germany)

    • eu-west-3 (Paris, France)

    APAC:

    • ap-southeast-1 (Singapore)

  5. Configure any advanced options described in the next section, as needed.

  6. Select Add to complete the Seqera Compute environment configuration and return to the compute environments list. It will take a few seconds for the compute environment resources to be created before you are ready to launch pipelines or add studios.

info

See Launch pipelines to start executing workflows in your Seqera Compute environment.

Advanced options (optional)​

  1. Enter a relative Pipeline work directory path to be appended to the S3 storage bucket Seqera creates for this compute environment.
  2. Enter pre- or post-run Bash scripts that execute before or after the Nextflow pipeline execution in your environment.
  3. Enter Global Nextflow configuration settings for all pipeline runs launched with this environment. Values defined here are pre-filled in the Nextflow config file field in the pipeline launch form. These values can be overridden at pipeline launch.
    info

    Configuration settings in this field override the same values in the pipeline repository nextflow.config file. See Nextflow config file for more information on configuration priority.

  4. Specify custom Environment variables for the Head job and/or Compute jobs.
