AWS HealthOmics Gets Task-Level Timeouts for WDL Workflows
AWS HealthOmics just dropped task-level timeout support for WDL workflows, letting you set execution time limits on individual tasks. This is a game-changer for controlling costs and preventing runaway bioinformatics jobs—just add the omicsTimeout attribute to your task's runtime section with values like 90s, 2h, or 1d. When a task exceeds its timeout, HealthOmics automatically stops it and marks the task as failed, giving you those sweet cost guardrails during development. Available across all major AWS regions including US, Europe, Israel, and Asia Pacific.
