Jupyter Enterprise Gateway is a headless web server with a pluggable framework for anyone supporting multiple notebook users in a managed-cluster environment. Some of the core functionality it provides is better optimization of compute resources, improved multi-user support, and more granular security for your Jupyter notebook environment - making it suitable for enterprise, scientific, and academic implementations. From a technical perspective, Jupyter Enterprise Gateway is a web server that enables the ability to launch kernels on behalf of remote notebooks. This leads to better resource management, as the web server is no longer the single location for kernel activity. It essentially exposes a Kernel as a Service model. By default, the Jupyter framework runs kernels locally - potentially exhausting the server of resources. By leveraging the functionality of the underlying resource management applications like Hadoop YARN, Kubernetes, and others.
Features
- Adds support for remote kernels hosted throughout the enterprise where kernels can be launched
- Local to the Enterprise Gateway server (today's Kernel Gateway behavior)
- On specific nodes of the cluster utilizing a round-robin algorithm
- On nodes identified by an associated resource manager
- Secure communication from the client, through the Enterprise Gateway server, to the kernels
- Ability to associate profiles consisting of configuration settings to a kernel for a given user
