Standalone Workspace

A Katonic standalone workspace is an interactive environment for developing and running code. You can conduct research, analyze data, train models, and more. Use workspaces to work in the development environment of your choice, like Jupyter notebooks, RStudio, VS Code, and many other customizable environments. The environment is pre-configured (meaning all your dependencies are preinstalled). All the files and data in your workspace will be preserved for you, across restarts. Your workspace has automatic version control and scalable compute available so that you can use unlimited compute resources to do your data science research.

Katonic has built-in support for JupyterLab,Jupyter, R Studio, Visual Studio Code and Katonic Studio.

Supported Workspaces

There are a variety of workspaces that are supported by Katonic Platform:

  1. JupyterLab.

  2. Jupyter.

  3. Visual Studio Code.

  4. R-Studio.

  5. Katonic Studio

JupyterLab

JupyterLab is a next-generation web-based user interface for Project Jupyter. JupyterLab enables you to work with documents and activities such as Jupyter notebooks, text editors, terminals, and custom components in a flexible, integrated, and extensible manner.

Learn more about JupyterLab.

Various types of JupyterLab

There are different types of environment for JupyterLab that Katonic workspace can support:

  • katonic-base-pyXX - Katonic base image is where you can only spin notebooks and work using different versions of python like katonic-base-py36,katonic-base-py37,katonic-base-py38 and katonic-base-py39.

  • katonic-base-py38-scikit-learn1.2.0 - This image will have python 3.8 along with scikit-learn packages installed in the environment.

  • katonic-base-gpu - If you want to work with GPUs then this is the right image for you. But make sure you have GPU attached to your cluster.

  • katonic-s3-browser - In katonic s3 browser you will be able to attach the s3 bucket to your workspace so that you can pull or push your codes/data into it.

Jupyter

Jupyter is a project and community whose goal is to "develop open-source software, open-standards, and services for interactive computing across dozens of programming languages".

Visual Studio Code

Visual Studio Code is a lightweight but powerful source code editor which runs on your desktop and is available for Windows, macOS and Linux. It comes with built-in support for JavaScript, TypeScript and Node.js and has a rich ecosystem of extensions for other languages (such as C++, C#, Java, Python, PHP, Go) and runtimes (such as .NET and Unity).
