Deploy your virtual machines

Different pre-defined bioinformatics environments (‘appliances’) are available from the RAINBio catalogue. You can deploy your own virtual environment with a single VM or several. To identify the relevant appliances, you can filter the available ones with keywords, name of tools or topics (use the search field in the top-right corner of the page).

Each appliance is shortly described in a box, like in the following exampleof the BioPipesapp.

The list of integrated tools and associated topics are summarized in the box [4].

Several actions are directly usable through the following icons:

• [1] ‘star’: to record it in your favorites,
• [2] ‘lightning’: to start the app quickly with the default parameters (default cloud, default size in your user profile),
• [3] ‘wrench’: to configure your deployment, for example to change the cloud to use and the size of the VM,
• [5] ‘+’: to display an detailled view of the appliance (you can also click on the name of the appliance).
