Training Infrastructure as a Service (TIaaS)

Originally developed by Galaxy Europe and the Gallantries project, together with the Galaxy community we have created "Training Infrastructure-as-a-Service" (TIaaS), aimed at providing user-friendly training infrastructure to the global training community. TIaaS provides dedicated training resources for Galaxy-based courses and events. Event organisers register their course, after which trainees are transparently placed in a private queue on the compute infrastructure, which ensures jobs complete quickly, even when the main queue is experiencing high wait times. A built-in dashboard allows instructors to monitor student progress. Training Infrastructure as a Service (TIaaS) has been in development since 21 June 2018, and three days later became a production service at Galaxy Europe on 24 June. As of June 7th, 2023 is has supported 504 training events with over 24000 learners have used this infrastructure for Galaxy training.
