In the Cloud WS meeting on Aug 12th, 2024 we decided to simplify the feature described in Issue #400 for DRS release 1.5. PR #407, intended for DRS release 1.5, simply adds a string "cloud" to the access response. We now include cloud, region, and type information only… no cloud or geo location constraint support for example. The fields we will include are:
After DRS 1.5 we can revisit how we express region, cloud, geo location, etc constraints in DRS which is a much bigger issue. |

usage_constraints is an optional field that specifies how the data owner intends for the data to be used on the cloud.
This spec aims to enhance the GA4GH DRS (Data Repository Service) specification by introducing a new field that provides metadata regarding the intended usage and location constraints for data objects. This additional field will allow data providers to specify their preferences and requirements for how the data should be accessed and utilized. The proposed field will offer the following options:
Cloud Exclusive (cloud_exclusive): the data object is intended for use exclusively within a cloud environment. Users are expected to access and process the data only within a cloud computing infrastructure and not outside of it; cannot download the data on somebody's laptop
Cloud Provider-Limited (cloud_provider_limited): the data object should not leave the cloud provider's ecosystem. Users are restricted from moving the data to external locations or platforms. It must remain within the boundaries of the specified cloud provider.
Cloud Region-Limited (cloud_region_limited): the data object is restricted to a specific cloud region. Users are required to access and process the data within the designated region and are prohibited from transferring it to other geographic locations within the cloud provider's infrastructure.
By introducing this new field, data providers and administrators can communicate their data access and usage policies more effectively, ensuring that data is handled in accordance with their specific requirements. This addition not only enhances the flexibility of the DRS specification but also strengthens data governance and compliance for genomic and health-related data in cloud-based environments.
