The Terra Community Workbench is made freely available to the scientific community by the Broad Institute in collaboration with Microsoft and Verily. It is a self-service application that allows you to access and import data, run analysis tools on the cloud, and collaborate. Storage, compute and egress costs are billed directly by the cloud provider (Google Cloud details listed below, Microsoft Azure details forthcoming); there is no markup for the use of the Community Workbench.
This requires a Google identity, which must be either a Gmail account or another email associated with a Google account (personal or G Suite). Go sign up now or view detailed instructions.
Google will bill you directly for any cloud usage charges, so you need to set up a Google billing account and link it to a Terra project. See all options or view how to get free credits from Google.
Once you have a billing project set up, you will be able to create new workspaces or clone existing workspaces. Learn more about working with workspaces in this doc or watch the video.
This tutorial demonstrates how to use data tables to organize your data, run workflows on individual elements of data and on sets of multiple elements, and manage your analyses efficiently at any scale.
