Who is this presentation for?

  • Educators, researchers, IT professionals, librarians, and research computing staff

Prerequisite knowledge

  • Familiarity with the shell, editing text files, and the cloud (useful but not required)

Materials or downloads needed in advance

What you'll learn

  • Learn how to set up your own JupyterHub in the cloud and customize it to fit your needs

Description

Carol Willing, Min Ragan-Kelley, and Erik Sundell demonstrate how to provide easy access to Jupyter notebooks and JupyterLab without requiring users to install anything on their computers. After diving into JupyterHub to discover what it is, how it works, and the benefits it provides, you’ll learn how to configure and deploy a cloud-based JupyterHub using Kubernetes and how to customize and extend it for your needs, with regard to authentication (Google, GitHub, LDAP, etc.), user environment (Python, R/RStudio, Julia, JupyterLab, etc.), and cluster autoscaling.

IT-Gymnasiet Uppsala

Erik Sundell is a math and physics teacher in Uppsala, Sweden. While working toward a machine learning degree online, he realized the potential of Jupyter for educators and established a JupyterHub deployment using the “Zero to JupyterHub on Kubernetes” guide for his students. Soon after, he began contributing to the open source project.
