  As the growth of genomics samples rapidly expands due to increased access to
high resolution DNA sequencing technology, the need for a scalable platform to
aggregate dispersed datasets enable easy access to the vast wealth of DNA
sequences available is paramount. In this work, we introduce and demonstrate a
novel way to use Named Data Networking (NDN) in conjunction with a Kubernetes
cluster to design a flexible and scalable genomics Data Lake in the cloud. In
addition, the use of the NDN Data Plane Development Kit (DPDK) provides an
efficient and accessible distribution of the datasets to researchers anywhere.
This report will explain the need to deploy a Data Lake for genomics data, what
is necessary to deploy successfully, and detailed instructions to replicate the
proposed design. Finally, this technical report outlines future enhancement
options for further improvements.
