Pipelines Improvements

Settings Page

A gear icon on Pipelines opens a Settings menu containing:

• Options on how to run the pipeline - On Demand instance vs. Spot instance. On-demand is the default.

• AWS IAM Role selection

• Verbose logs can be turned off or on for debugging.

Note: Pipelines run with a default IAM role. If external data is used, users can select another role with permissions to access external data and AWS batch. Admins must define these roles and provide access through IdP.
