As you consider streamlined deployment and workflow execution, take a look at the GA4GH Task Execution Service (TES) API. TES provides a standardized interface for describing and running computational tasks across heterogeneous environments, making it a useful complement to containerized approaches.
We've been working on GA4GH TES API since 2016. Crazy that we now have a cool animation to show how it fits into the larger world of GA4GH APIs.

You should also check out the paper we wrote about it: ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/105...

"The evil was not in bread and circuses, per se, but in the willingness of the people to sell their rights as free men for full bellies and the excitement of the games which would serve to distract them from the other human hungers which bread and circuses can never appease." Ciscero
