The script assumes no default VPC network and that only internal IP addresses will be used. The script will create the following in an empty project

• A VPC and Subnet in the designated Region

• A firewall rule to allow access using IAP

• A Cloud NAT and required router to allow instances with internal IP addresses to access the internet

• A service Account with necessary permissions to run Batch and Life Sciecnes API

• A storage Bucket for input files and work directory

• A VM with Java, latest verion of Nextflow and a preconfigured nextflow confg file with a batch and LS API profiles
