Description: The Cloud cache plugin enables cloud-based caching and workflow resume functionality for Nextflow pipelines using cloud storage (S3, Google Cloud Storage, or Azure Blob) as the work directory. It solves the problem of efficiently resuming interrupted or failed pipelines without re-computing completed tasks when using cloud infrastructure. Bioinformaticians and data scientists running large-scale Nextflow workflows on cloud platforms would use this plugin to improve pipeline reliability and reduce compute costs.

Summary

The Cloud cache plugin provides cloud-based caching support for Nextflow pipelines. It enables workflow resume capability when using cloud storage as the work directory.

Get Started

To use this plugin, add it to your nextflow.config:

plugins {
    id 'nf-cloudcache'
}

The plugin is automatically activated when using cloud storage (S3, GS, Azure Blob) as the work directory with resume enabled.

workDir = 's3://my-bucket/work'

Run your pipeline with the -resume flag:

nextflow run main.nf -resume

Examples

AWS S3 Cache

plugins {
    id 'nf-amazon'
    id 'nf-cloudcache'

workDir = 's3://my-bucket/work'

aws {
    region = 'us-east-1'
}

Google Cloud Storage Cache

plugins {
    id 'nf-google'
    id 'nf-cloudcache'
}

workDir = 'gs://my-bucket/work'

google {

    location = 'us-central1'
}

Azure Blob Storage Cache

plugins {
    id 'nf-azure'
    id 'nf-cloudcache'
}

workDir = 'az://my-container/work'

azure {
