OBJECTIVE:

• Learn What is Notebook Instance?

What is Notebook/Jupyter Notebooks in AI?

• Jupyter Notebook or simply known as Notebook is a notebook authoring application, under the Project Jupyter umbrella.
• They become a community standard for communicating and performing interactive computing.
• Due to it's interactive computation power, Used widely with Data Science and AI/ML Projects.

Components of Jupyter Notebook & Their Uses:

Jupyter notebook combines two components:

• Browser-based editing web application: Allows interactive authoring of computational notebooks which provides a fast interactive environment for:

  • Prototyping and explaining code,
  • Exploring and visualizing data, and
  • Sharing ideas with others.

• Computational Notebook documents: A shareable document that can combine multiple features:

  • Computer code,
  • Plain language descriptions,
  • Data,
  • 3D models,
  • Charts,
  • Mathematics,
  • Graphs
  • Diagrams, and
  • Interactive controls.

Official Definition of Notebook Instance

• An Amazon SageMaker notebook instance is a managed ML compute instance that provides a Jupyter-based development environment. It is not simply any EC2 instance with Jupyter installed.
• Notebook instances are one SageMaker development option; the current SageMaker Studio experience is the preferred starting point for many new workloads.
• SageMaker notebook instances can provide preconfigured environments with packages such as:
  • Amazon SageMaker Python SDK,
  • AWS SDK for Python (Boto3),
  • AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI),
  • Conda,
  • Pandas,
  • Deep learning framework libraries, and
  • Other libraries for data science and machine learning.
