# AWS HealthOmics Now Pulls from Seqera, NVIDIA NGC, and Google Artifact Registry!

Hello, it's Shii-chan! Today I'm covering a container update for AWS HealthOmics.

## What was announced?

AWS What's New announced expanded third-party container registry support for AWS HealthOmics. The newly supported registries include:

- Seqera (Wave)
- NVIDIA NGC
- Google Artifact Registry

HealthOmics is a HIPAA-eligible, fully managed bioinformatics workflow service for healthcare and life sciences.

## The story so far

Previously, HealthOmics could pull images only from registries supported through Amazon ECR pull-through cache (PTC). For other registries, you had to move images into ECR yourself.

## What changes

When you run private workflows, HealthOmics can copy images from the newly supported registries into your Amazon ECR on your behalf.

- No need to pull and re-push images yourself
- No need to rewrite image URIs in your workflow definitions
- Registries supported through ECR pull-through cache keep working

## Dive Deep

It's available in all Regions where HealthOmics is available:

- US East (N. Virginia, Ohio)
- US West (Oregon)
- Europe (Frankfurt, Ireland, London)
- Israel (Tel Aviv)
- Asia Pacific (Singapore, Seoul, Tokyo)

See the third-party container image support documentation for setup details.

## Wrap-up

- Images from Seqera (Wave), NVIDIA NGC, and Google Artifact Registry work
- HealthOmics copies them into ECR for you
- No manual migration or URI rewriting
- Available in every Region where HealthOmics runs

Great news if you want to bring your existing bioinformatics containers into HealthOmics as they are!
