TRE Infrastructure Administrator Guide
Overview
The TRE Infrastructure Administrator is responsible for provisioning and maintaining the underlying infrastructure that powers Quark's Trusted Research Environment. This includes publishing the datasets that researchers will discover and request access to, configuring the compute resources that back pipelines and workstations, and creating the workstation templates that end users deploy for their analyses.
This guide walks you step-by-step through the three core responsibilities of the TRE Infrastructure Administrator role:
- Adding a Compute — Configure the cluster, instance types, and capacity that workloads will run on.
- Publishing a Dataset — Make a pre-uploaded dataset discoverable in the TRE Data Catalog.
- Creating a Workstation Template — Define reusable workstation configurations that researchers can launch on demand.
Before you begin, ensure you have signed in to the TRE Infrastructure Administrator app with the appropriate credentials. The left-hand Navigation Menu is your primary entry point into each of the workflows below.
