Egress

The Egress application handles data egress requests. Once a task is finished executing, the results are submitted to it for approval where a Trusted Research Environment (TRE) administrator can check them. Once results are approved or rejected, Egress then sends an update to the TRE Agent API.

The code for Egress is open source, and can be found on Github.
