People need to be aware that some genomics data, e.g. individual patients data, and large consortium databases including TCGA and ICGA, are protected for the privacy of those individuals involved. Anyone who wants to submit these types of data to be analyzed through Cloud Computing, need to check for the permission for the data security reason.

We should have some discussion of data restrictions, but I'm not sure it belongs in the disadvantage list. Amazon, for instance, has done a lot of work to get some of their services approved for use with restricted human data, and with the right settings can be used for dbGAP and similar. There's a lot of nuance in what platforms can be used, and for what kind of data, with which restrictions.

Added a general paragraph about human data and the need to be aware of any ethical and legal requirements when working with human genomic data.

Dear all,
I think it is important to mention that one data protection issue in the "disadvantage" section here:
