AWS omics documentation change

Service: omics · 2026-03-28 · Documentation medium

File: omics/latest/dev/starting-a-run.md

Summary

Added a new 'VPC networking' section that explains how to configure runs to use VPC networking, including an example command and a link to detailed documentation.

Security assessment

The change adds documentation for configuring VPC networking for runs, which is a security feature that enables network isolation and controlled access. This enhances security but does not address a specific vulnerability.

+## VPC networking
+
+You can configure a run to use VPC networking, which allows runs to access resources over the public internet or private networks. Specify the networking mode and a configuration name when you start the run:
+    
+    
+    aws omics start-run \
+      --workflow-id workflow-id \
+      --role-arn role-arn \
+      --output-uri s3://bucket-name/prefix/ \
+      --networking-mode VPC \
+      --configuration-name configuration-name \
+      --region region
