Glad to hear this worked out for you (particularly preemptible VMs which I worked on). Sorry about the HIPAA/ BAA issues, which institution are you with so I can have someone do the work so you can have a better experience next time.

- brohoolio 11y agoI'd love to do more with Google at my university but we couldn't get Google to even start talking about signing our BAA or other agreements. It was a non-starter for our legal department. We ended up moving towards AWS because they were willing to sign. It sucked from my perspective because we already had such a tie in with Google with our email/ collab platform. In the couple years since then our agreements have only gotten stronger. The best way for Google to address this is to sign something with Internet2 and then the institutions can use that contract instead of negotiating separately.
- i000 11y agoIn our case Google was very proactive and willing to sign a BAA. But the terms of those agreements have to satisfy both partners which for some reason ultimately did not happen.
- davidglazer 11y agoYes please -- if you're able to share which institution you're with, I'd like to follow up on the BAA hassles. (We do regularly sign BAAs with institutions, but I know that, as with many things legal, simple things don't always stay simple.) Disclaimer: I work on Google Genomics.
