The NCBI is experimenting with providing a BLAST machine image (AMI) hosted at Amazon Web Services (AWS). This AMI allows users to run stand-alone searches with the BLAST+ applications, submit searches through a subset of the NCBI-BLAST URLAPI, and perform searches with a simplified webpage. The AMI also includes a FUSE client that can download BLAST databases during the first search. The AMI uses HVM (Hardware Virtual Machine) and runs on LINUX (Ubuntu). This page provides links to the latest AMI as well as links to documentation about BLAST and the AMI
