AWS HealthOmics expands container registry support for private workflows

<p>You can now use container images from registries such as Seqera (Wave), NVIDIA NGC, and Google Artifact Registry with AWS HealthOmics expanded support for third-party container registries. You can use the containerized tools your workflows already rely on, without manually migrating images into Amazon ECR or editing your workflow definitions.&nbsp;<a href="https://aws.amazon.com/healthomics/">AWS HealthOmics</a> is a HIPAA-eligible service that helps healthcare and life sciences customers accelerate scientific breakthroughs at scale with fully managed bioinformatics workflows.</p> <p>With expanded container registry support, you can now instruct HealthOmics to copy container images, on your behalf, from newly supported registries into your Amazon ECR when running your private workflows.&nbsp;Previously, AWS HealthOmics could pull images only from registries supported through&nbsp;<a href="https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/whats-new/2025/08/aws-healthomics-third-party-container-registries-private-workflows/">Amazon ECR pull-through cache</a> (PTC). Your private workflows can now access Amazon ECR pull-through cache registries and the newly supported third party container registries, so you do not need to pull, re-push, or rewrite image URIs yourself.</p> <p>Expanded container registry support is now available in all AWS Regions where HealthOmics is available: US East (N. Virginia, Ohio), US West (Oregon), Europe (Frankfurt, Ireland, London), Israel (Tel Aviv), and Asia Pacific (Singapore, Seoul, Tokyo).
