I am a student researcher who is unsure about the financial impact of UKB RAP. Has anyone in a similar situation had any experience applying for enhanced credits and could share if it is easy to apply, and how to gauge if I'm likely to run out of credit?
Further to my above query, I have tried to follow the link supplied in the FAQs to estimate pricing, https://calculator.aws/#/ which leads to https://calculator.aws/#/addService for selecting the AWS services, but I am unsure which service to select. Would anyone be able to help?
The best way to do cost estimation is probably to test on a few real samples. The RAP platform has both real-time and at the end of each job, so you could calculate based on that. However, if you are on extremely limit budget, you can use rate card that @Ondrej Klempir? posted to help in choosing proper instance type and have a rough sense of cost if you have the estimate of how long the job would run. Most bioinformatics tools would have their guidelines in github or in publication.

Hi Kathryn,
UKB RAP has the following Rate Card (list of available instance types):
