Cloud Example Jupyter

Work in progress

Introduction

The goal of this project is to support a class teaching basic programming using Jupyter Notebook Jupyter notebook is a single process that supports only one person. To support a whole class, a jupyter notebook process will need to be run for each student. Jupyter offers a Jupyter Hub that automatically spawns these singe user processes. However, a single machine can only support around 50-70 students before suffering performance issues. Kubernetes allows this process to scale out horizontally by spreading the single-user instances across physical nodes. I will give a break down of different pieces needed to make this work and go into more detail on certain aspects.
