Community-maintained Notebook environments in Terra
Ever since we introduced Jupyter Notebooks in Terra, we’ve sought to provide default environments pre-loaded with software packages that are likely to interest you, to minimize the amount of setup necessary to get your work going. However, we’ve found that there’s a huge amount of variation in the needs and preferences of researchers, from […]
Update to Jupyter Notebook environment in Terra : Persistent Disk storage now available
This week, we released one of those changes that looks small on the face of it but is actually a really big deal. Specifically, we upgraded the cloud environment (previously called “runtime”) that we provide in Terra for running Jupyter Notebooks to support persistent disk storage. Until now, one of the limitations of our […]
Faster creation of Notebook environments with Google Compute Engine VMs
We know that the 4 minutes it takes to create a cloud environment to perform a Jupyter Notebook analysis can feel like a long time. To reduce this time and save you cost, Terra has added support for using standard Google Compute Engine Virtual Machines (GCE VMs) as the underlying compute/runtime. Terra researchers […]
