With collaboration from Google representatives, U-M staff from ITS and the Precision Health Initiative created a secure environment modeled after the Google Solution/Architecture: “HIPAA-Aligned Cloud Healthcare” and “Setting up a HIPAA-Aligned Project.” The team provisioned and configured the vast majority of the architecture through Terraform, making sure that the code could be repurposed if any other event or project required a similar setup. The back-end projects are separated by function and IAM permissions are applied accordingly. The infrastructure utilizes Google products such as BigQuery, Google Cloud Storage, Stackdriver Logging, Monitoring, Alerting, and Organization Policies, while the datathon participants primarily utilize Google Datalab and Bigquery to analyze the data uploaded by U-M staff.
The presentation will give an overview of the infrastructure, including design choices and some lessons learned during the process.
