Overall Status Updates

• Reviewing AIMS connection to DEX options: Research/Analysis: In Progress

  • AIMS/APHL Updates:

    1. SDS (Send to DEX Servce) / Upload API

       1. Tested connectivity successfully

       2. Prototyped runtime using Docker image & lambda using aims sandbox

       3. Next:

          1. Determine what a load/performance test should look like & perform the test

          2. Determine if we want the runtime to be in Lambda, Mirth, Fargate, or k8s

    2. AWS DataSync

       1. Prerequisite for transfer test: EC2 instance to run data sync agent - did not complete this

       2. Tested connectivity to S3 and Azure locations

       3. Further research/additional information needed regarding cost / architecture questions for scaling this solution long term

    3. Azure Logic Apps / Connectors

       1. Further research/additional information needed regarding cost implications in azure to run

       2. Need help understanding continued monitoring & maintenance of a logic app

       3. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/community/power-automate-vs-logic-apps

    4. RAS (Receive from AIMS Service)

       1. With a slight modification, the SDS can run as a poller

       2. Have built similar poller services many times, can be done with this for performance testing in a few days if there is interest

       3. Would run on the DEX/Azure side to poll SQS and get data from AIMS S3

Metadata values required by DEX

• meta_destination_id – unique identifier used to indicate the program associated with

the upload.

• meta_ext_event – unique identifier used to indicate the event type within the program

that this file belongs to (e.g., routineImmunization).

optional for all:

meta_schema_version

• How is optional metadata for a specific meta_destination_id/meta_ext_event/meta_schema_version defined?

• Does this need to be defined before sending metadata values or will DEX allow any additional optional metadata values to be sent?

Mtg Notes:

• Prototyped download to bucket:

  • No issues using upload API

  • Meta Data Questions

  • Viable path forward

• Option 2: AWS Data Sync

  • Runs on schedule

  • Cost implications/questions/ blob storage time period

  • Requires EC2 configuration, without monitoring and auditing services

  • Within S3--when copy is done, are the same keys within S3 in Azure? No; Metadata is not copied over to blob metadata--not impossible, but would need to create solution

    • Would need either to …option 1 write custom connector or

    • Questions on long-term monitoring and cost

• Option 3:

  • Requires EC2 configuration, without monitoring and auditing services

  • Within S3--when copy is done, are the same keys within S3 in Azure? No; Metadata is not copied over to blob metadata--not impossible, but would need to create solution

    • Would need either to …option 1 write custom connector or

    • Questions on long-term monitoring and cost

    • CDC is pulling data

• Option 4:

  • Almost same as Option 1

  • Instead of pushing to httpm endpoint, could just have DEX pull from AIMS

• Pros/Cons to all options:

  • Either using upload API, or having DEX pull data from S3 bucket on AIMs is most viable

    • DEX: What is the thing doing the pull? AIMS: Would provide code to DEX, set of library code

    • AIMS: This would be similar to initial data pull for EIP+

    • Could make a new code base, would share code with DEX, used for other integration projects

• Decision Point:

  • Load test/Performance Test: Using meta data

    • Option 1: Aims will need to decide to where to host, but could start that next week

    • Option 4: Needs a bit of refinement, but also viable

    • Option 2,3: Would need additional developer research/support to implement

  • Uncertain if meta data comes across with Option Data Sync: Scheduling feature, and growth of data would need to be configured/monitored

  • AIMS/DS: Choice needs to be considered from long-term viability and ability to use for other programs/use cases

    • GM: Bucket used would prefix project, meta data used would be mapped to data upload api object, so could be scaled

    • DS: Option 4 is nicer for AIMS, as less code is maintained on AIMS; Polling from CDC; Queue can be monitored, but is available for CDC to poll at any time

      • Question is who is monitoring queue/polling

  • DEX: In Option 4, how is Meta Data received? AIMS: Get object command would make meta data available; DEX: Meta Data would be persisted in Azure blob

• Leslynn: Are there any programs which APHL would need to pull data back from CDC? Dari: Currently, EIP is the only program which pushes data from CDC, but that would be migrated to CDC Platform intermediate term

• Leslynn: Total daily volumes--would this be possible to provide per program?

  • AIMS: Can provide overview of volume for DLs, and potentially other programs

    • Action item: Provide counts to Leslynn and Ryan

• AIMS: Preference would be Option 4; Option 1 would need to be coordinated long-term with DEX, so higher LOE

  • DEX: Coordination would not be needed, DEX would

  • DEX: Could we test Option 1?
