Sage Scientific Compute is a secure compute workspace for Sage Bionetworks' workers and their collaborators. The offerings are:
...
CostCenter: bill the product to this cost center code. If the appropriate cost center code is not in the list then select “Other / 000001” and create a custom “CostCenterOther” tag. Set the tag to a value from our official list of cost centers codes. Example:
...
Note: The owner email tag is automatically set to <Synapse Username>@synapse.org
Notifications
Please skip the Notifications pane. SNS notifications are not operational at this time.

A new instance takes a few minutes to be created. Once complete, it will appear in the “Provisioned Products” list, showing status Available. Select “Provisioned Product Details” from the navigation panel on the left, and click on your product. A product that has a “Succeeded” event will have outputs that include links for connecting. Click on the "Events" tab and expand , find the "PROVISION_PRODUCT" card (which may require sorting Events by Date, oldest first) and expand the card to see the following links.

The AWS SSM allows direct access to private instances from your own computer terminal. To setup access with the AWS SSM we need to create a special Synapse personal access token (PAT) that will work with the Sage Service Catalog. This is special PAT that can only be created using this workflow, creating a PAT from the Synapse personal token manager web page will NOT work.
Request a Synapse PAT by visiting https://sc.sageit.org/personalaccesstoken , for Sage employees, or https://ad.strides.sc.sageit.org/personalaccesstoken for AMP-AD members. (You may need to login to Synapse.) If you have already created a PAT through this mechanism and are repeating the process you must first visit the token management page in Synapse and delete the existing one with the same name.
After logging into Synapse a file containing the PAT, which is a long character string (i.e. eyJ0eXAiOiJ...Z8t9Eg), is returned to you. Save the file to your local machine and note the location where you saved it to then close the browser session.
Note: At this point you can verify that the PAT for the Service Catalog was successfully created by viewing the Synapse token management page. When the PAT expires you will need to repeat these steps to create a new PAT. The PAT should look something like this

Run an application on the EC2 (i.e. docker run -p 80:80 httpd)
Code Block [ec2-user@ip-10-49-26-50 ~]$ docker run -p 80:80 httpd Unable to find image 'httpd:latest' locally latest: Pulling from library/httpd 33847f680f63: Pull complete d74938eee980: Pull complete 963cfdce5a0c: Pull complete 8d5a3cca778c: Pull complete e06a573b193b: Pull complete Digest: sha256:71a3a8e0572f18a6ce71b9bac7298d07e151e4a1b562d399779b86fef7cf580c Status: Downloaded newer image for httpd:latest AH00558: httpd: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 172.17.0.2.

To provide access to that app, an SC user can use the port forwarding feature to gain access to the app by running the AWS SSM CLI command:
Code Block aws ssm start-session --profile service-catalog \ --target i-0fd5c9ff0ef675ceb \ --document-name AWS-StartPortForwardingSession \ --parameters '{"portNumber":["80"],"localPortNumber":["9090"]}'To provide access to that app in the Windows Command Prompt use this syntax:
Code Block aws ssm start-session --profile service-catalog \ --target i-0fd5c9ff0ef675ceb \ --document-name AWS-StartPortForwardingSession \ --parameters "{\"portNumber\":[\"80\"],\"localPortNumber\":[\"9090\"]}"Now you should be able to access that app on your local machine at
http://localhost:9090.

Once you provision the product, visit the page for the provisioned product. Scroll half way down and click on “Outputs”. At the bottom of the page, click on “Events”, find the "PROVISION_PRODUCT" card (which may require sorting Events by Date, oldest first) and expand the card to see a set of links. Now, click on the link for “NotebookConnectionURI”. This will open a new browser tab with the notebook running.

Connecting to Synapse
Both notebooks feature passwordless login to Synapse. In RStudio, simply type:
...
Using the update action allows you to change parameters or update to a new version of the product. WARNING: changes to configuration parameters usually result in a recreation (“replacement”) of the instance, any data saved on the instance will be lost, and the nature of the update by Amazon is difficult to predict. We recommend that you save any important data to S3, provision a new instance and terminate the original.
Terminate
The terminate action deletes the instance permanently.
...
The “Environment” parameters are required fields. You can replace the default values, however please do not leave these fields empty. Also pay special attention to the formatting that’s required for the values. The deployment will fail if the formatting isn’t correct.
There is an AWS bug that prevents disabling the scheduled job after it has been enabled. The workaround is to either (1) Terminate the job and create a new one or (2) Set the rate to some distant time in the future (i.e. 3650 days).
...
Secrets are stored in the AWS secrets manager and exposed to the job as environment variables. The logs above print out the environment variables from the job. Take note of the “SCHEDULED_JOB_SECRETS” parameter in the logs. The secrets that are passed into this product are exposed as environment variables in the logs by the “printenv” command. Please make sure to never expose secrets in this way. DO NOT PRINT ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES.
Accessing Scheduled Job Secrets
Job secrets can be access a number of different ways. The first way is simply to get it from the docker container environment variable SCHEDULED_JOB_SECRETS.
Environment variable example:
