2021-11-22 ESIP Cloud Computing Cluster: QHub - Build and maintain a science platform
While cloud computing cluster members have supported migrating Earth archives to the cloud, developments in open science platforms are required to leverage those cloud-based Earth archives. Pangeo has pioneered web-based open science platforms by deploying JupyterHubs integrated with the scalable processing framework, Dask.
Dharhas Pothina of QHub presents QHub: QHub is designed to solve this problem without charging a large premium over infrastructure costs like many commercial platform vendors do OR requiring the heavy DevOps expertise that a roll-your-own solution typically does. Qhub is an open source solution to making an open science framework repeatable. QHub is an automated data science platform which includes JupyterHub integrated with the Dask Gateway cloud environment. QHub enables users to build and maintain cost-effective and scalable compute/data science platforms on HPC or on Kubernetes with minimal DevOps experience.
