Schedule: JupyterHub deployments sessions

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. You'll learn how to configure and deploy a cloud-based JupyterHub using Kubernetes and how to customize and extend it for your needs. Read more.

The Data Science Modules program at UC Berkeley creates short explorations into data science using notebooks to allow students to work hands-on with a dataset relevant to their course. Mariah Rogers, Ronald Walker, and Julian Kudszus explain the logistics behind such a program and the indispensable features of JupyterHub that enable such a unique learning experience. Read more.

Running infrastructure is challenging for an open source community. Yuvi Panda shares lessons drawn from the small community that operates MyBinder.org, covering the social and technical processes for keeping MyBinder.org reliable in the most open, transparent, and inclusive way possible, using pretty graphs about the state of MyBinder.org that anyone can see in real time.

LSST is an ambitious project to map the sky in the fastest, widest, and deepest survey ever made. The project's database disrupts traditional astronomical workflows, and its science platform requires a paradigm shift in how astronomy is done. Adam Thornton discusses the challenges of providing production services on a notebook-based architecture and the compelling advantages of JupyterLab. Read more.

In Capital One's recent exploration of "notebook" offerings, JupyterHub emerged as a top contender that could serve as a potential platform for analytics even in highly regulated industries like financial services. David Schaaf and Shivraj Ramanan discuss Capital One's journey and explain how Jupyter has become a part of the company's ever-growing analytics toolkit. Read more.

Climate science is being flooded with petabytes of data, overwhelming traditional modes of data analysis. The Pangeo project is building a platform to take big data climate science into the cloud using SciPy and large-scale interactive computing tools. Join Ryan Abernathey and Yuvi Panda to find out what the Pangeo team is building and why and learn how to use it. Read more.

The Binder project drastically lowers the bar to sharing and reusing software. Users wanting to try out someone else’s work need only click a single link to do so. Tim Head offers an overview of the Binder project and explores the concepts and ideas behind it. Tim then showcases examples from the community to show off the power of Binder. Read more.

Laura Noren offers an overview of a research project on the various infrastructure models supporting data science in research settings in terms of funding, educational uses, and research utilization. Laura then shares some of the findings, comparing the national federation model currently established in Canada to the more grassroots efforts in many US universities. Read more.

Over the past 18 months, Ian Allison and James Colliander have deployed Jupyter to more than 8,000 users at universities across Canada. Ian and James offer an overview of the Syzygy platform and explain how they plan to scale and deliver the service nationally and how they intend to make Jupyter integral to the working experience of students, researchers, and faculty members. Read more.

The key to successful threat detection in cybersecurity is fast response. George Williams, Harini Kannan, and Alex Comerford offer an overview of specialized extensions they have built for data scientists working in cybersecurity that can be used and deployed via JupyterHub. Read more.
