Course summary

Congratulations on completing the Configure Execution training course! 🎉

Your journey

You started by adapting a pipeline's execution to different compute environments: switching software packaging technology and selecting an execution platform. Next, you learned to control resource allocations and automatically retry tasks that fail. Finally, you learned how to bundle configuration into profiles, combine them at runtime, and inspect the fully resolved configuration.

Skills acquired

Through this hands-on course, you've learned how to:

  • Switch software packaging technology between Docker and Conda
  • Select an execution platform, and understand what changes behind the scenes when you do
  • Control per-process resource allocations, and automatically retry tasks that fail
  • Define and combine profiles, and inspect resolved configuration with nextflow config

You're now equipped to configure Nextflow pipelines for a range of compute environments with confidence.
