Technical requirements

In this chapter, we will use the following tools and packages:

• AWS
• boto3
• Docker

You will want to make a working directory called Ch14.

The code for this chapter is available in this book’s GitHub repository at https://github.com/PacktPublishing/Bioinformatics-with-Python-Cookbook-Fourth-Edition/tree/main/Ch14.

Remember to activate your conda environment before beginning the recipes, like this:

conda activate bioinformatics_base

Alternatively, if you would like to set up a conda environment specific to this chapter, before activating bioinformatics_base, run the following:

conda create -n ch14-cloud-computing --clone bioinformatics_base
conda activate ch14-cloud-computing

You will be able to install the packages for the chapter as you go, or you can use the YAML file provided in the repository:

conda env update --file ch14-cloud-computing.yml
