Service Workbench on AWS enables IT teams to provide secure, repeatable, and federated control of data access, tooling, and compute power needed by researchers. IT professionals can automate the creation of baseline research environments, simplify data access, and provide price transparency. Researchers no longer need to navigate cloud infrastructure and can focus on quickly achieving research missions and completing essential work in pre-configured research environments. Both researchers and IT departments save time which they can reinvest in following cloud best practices and achieving reproducible research environments.

This implementation guide provides an overview of the Service Workbench on AWS solution, its reference architecture and components, considerations for planning the deployment, and configuration steps for deploying the Service Workbench on AWS solution to the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Cloud.
