Service containers

Concept: Containers launched via the Crunch infrastructure, but provide a network port that things can connect to.

Arvados epic: https://dev.arvados.org/issues/17207

Primary uses cases

  • Applications providing an API
    • a bunch of data needs to be loaded into RAM before it can be used, queried, or computed on
    • e.g. large language models, databases, function-as-a-service
    • Makes sense when the time spent on any given query is much much smaller than the loading time
  • User facing web applications
    • e.g. Integrative Genomics Viewer (IGV), Jupyter notebooks
    • Also includes web applications that interact with an API (first bullet)
