Colab is a hosted Jupyter Notebook service provided by Google that provides free access to computing resources, including GPUs and TPUs. Colab is especially well-suited to machine learning, data science, and education, making it a highly desirable tool, but scaling up your Colab to leverage existing research infrastructure requires technical know-how that can be a daunting barrier to many CyVerse users. 

Never fear--we've got a fix for that! In this webinar, CyVerse's Director of Infrastructure, Edwin Skidmore, will demonstrate how to connect Colab to CyVerse's CACAO (Cloud Automation and Continuous Analysis Orchestration) service. With a push of a button and simple copy-n-paste instructions, you will learn how you can easily connect Jetstream2 or AWS to power and scale you Google Colab.
