title: Use of Snakemake workflows in AWS Batch
body: <p>I wanted to ask the Snakemake community if anybody has had success implementing Snakemake workflows in AWS Batch.</p>
  
  <p>Page 4 of a recent publication from Oct 2018 seems to suggest that Snakemake does not work on AWS as it cannot handle resource management. Here is the publication: <em>Tibanna: software for scalable execution of portable pipelines on the cloud</em> - <a href="https://www.biorxiv.org/content/early/2019/04/29/440974.full.pdf" rel="noreferrer">https://www.biorxiv.org/content/early/2019/04/29/440974.full.pdf</a> </p>
  
  <p>Yes, the same paper does suggest the Snakemake works well with the Google Cloud Platform (GCP).</p>
  
  <p>However, the Snakemake documentation  states: "Snakemake 4.0 and later supports execution in the cloud via Kubernetes. This is independent of the cloud provider." - <a href="https://snakemake.readthedocs.io/en/stable/executable.html#cloud-support" rel="noreferrer">https://snakemake.readthedocs.io/en/stable/executable.html#cloud-support</a></p>
  
  <p>Hence, I would like to know if anyone has implemented Snakemake with AWS Batch.</p>
  
  <p>Also, while on this question, does anyone know of any github/bitbucket page that details the successful implementation of Snakemake with the GCP.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance.</p>
