Filestore powers UC Berkeley's massive JupyterHub

JupyterHub, which makes Jupyter Notebooks more accessible to larger user groups, has emerged as a crucial platform for collaborative data science

UC Berkeley uses JupyterHub as a collaborative data science environment for students, teachers, faculty, staff

They experienced financial difficulties, similar to many other colleges, which made it challenging to staff a sizable IT team

By re-architecting the configuration to segregate particular course hubs and JupyterHub support infrastructure into their own node pools

The UC Berkeley team was persuaded that Filestore was the best option in less than an hour

Budgetary constraints and capacity limitations will undoubtedly also be important factors in the choice

They launched a demonstration deployment, establishing a connection between a Filestore instance and a smaller JupyterHub environment
