Remote and Local Usage

Local vs. remote environment

In a local environment, FASTQ.ORA files are accessible on the compute node via the file system. Cloud instances with local data, or data available via a network file system, are also considered local environments. Local environment examples include the following:

• The compute node is a laptop and files are stored on the local hard disk.

• The compute node is a cloud instance and files are copied to its local storage.

In a remote environment, FASTQ.ORA files are stored in the cloud on either AWS S3 or Azure blob.

Remote using AWS S3

The DRAGEN ORA Helper Suite Software reuses the AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI) configuration. The location of a file is passed by specifying the file name as follows:

s3://bucket/<file name>

To make sure that the AWS CLI is configured to access your file, use the following command:

$ aws s3 ls s3://bucket/<remote file name>.fastq.ora

Info Remote case on AWS S3 with DRAGEN v3.7 uses specific syntax. Refer to oraFuse Software for more information.

Remote Using Azure Blob Storage

The DRAGEN ORA Helper Suite Software reuses the URI set up for your Azure Blob Storage. The location of a file is passed by specifying the file name as follows:

https://StorageAccountName.blob.core.windows.net/<my container>/<my blob>.fastq.ora

To make sure that the Azure CLI is configured to access your blob file, use the following command:

export AZURE_STORAGE_CONNECTION_STRING=<yourURI> az storage blob list – container-name <myContainer>

Info Remote case on Azure Blob Storage is not supported on DRAGEN v3.7.
