Hi team,

Regarding your architecture, we suggest considering a dynamic approach for your EC2 usage. Specifically, spinning up EC2 instances on-demand only for the duration of a workflow rather than maintaining a static group.

This mirrors our ultimate goal of using the public cloud only when needed to extend our private infrastructure (a "cloudbursting" approach). You can read more about this model in this case study from SURF.

That said, we understand that maintaining a static group and using other cloud services might be more attractive for the scope and requirements of the course project.
