Minisymposium Presentation
HPC in a TRE: Architecting for Secure Research in the Cloud (One Acronym at a Time)
Presenter
James is a Solutions Architect at Amazon Web Services in the UK. His work with research customers, spans helping individuals run workloads to advising organizations on developing AWS environments which enable their researchers. He particularly enjoys work with teams creating platforms for computing and sensitive data, including the growing Trusted Research Environment (TRE) community in the UK. James is a recovering statistical mechanic from the University of Bath where he spent 16 years, and was part of the team running Isambard, the first production ARM-based HPC system.
Description
Trusted Research Environments depend on information governance framework, business operations and technical components to ensure they provide a service that operates securely and mitigates barriers for researchers. Architecting in the cloud starts with establishing appropriate security controls, identity and access configuration. The application components for the TRE can then be deployed into this with confidence. This separation of concerns means that specialists within the org can own their area and e.g. research software engineers and research infrastructure engineers can focus on their area working more closely with researchers and data stewards. With these foundations the cloud allows you to extend TRE capability by providing access to additional services. These can include elastic clusters, ML/AI services and workflow automation to deliver on-demand high level capability for researchers.
