Grand Unified Platform for Process Interactions: A DevOps Environment for Data Scientists

Project GUPPI

A unified platform for data scientists to easily access all the services they need within Jupyter Notebook.

Currently our most key feature is the ability to display and interact with cloud virtual machine instances across different cloud providers at once. We support Amazon EC2 and Google Compute. Users can start/stop, restart, terminate, and group instances. Users can easily SSH into groups of instances and run commands accross multiple services at once.

Getting Started

These instructions will get you a copy of the project up and running on your local machine.

Prerequisites

Ensure the following are installed on your machine:

• Jupyter Notebook

Installing Jupyter using the Anaconda Distribution is ideal, as it includes Python along with other commonly used packages for data science

• Python (3.3 or greater) To check if you have python installed, type python --version

• pip (should should be installed along with Python but to check, type pip -V)

• git

Installation

Clone project guppi to a directory of your choice

Make sure to put it somewhere you can easily access again, as you will need to add files to GUPPI during setup and run notebooks from within this folder

git clone https://github.com/katekaho/project-guppi.git

Move into guppi directory

cd project-guppi

Pip install the required Python packages

If you have both Python 2 and 3 installed, you may have to type pip3 instead of pip

pip install -r src/setup/req.txt

Open Jupyter Notebook

jupyter notebook

Create a new Python3 notebook

Load our GUPPI extension by typing the following iPython magic command into a cell and running it. (note: currently, our extension needs to be run inside the project-guppi folder)

%reload_ext guppimagic

For the list of commands to run, type %guppi help

Follow the configuration instructions for the cloud services. You can view the instructions in the %guppi cloud multicloud command or through viewing the md files in the plugins folder of the service you want

Once everything is properly configured, you'll be able to view and run commands on your cloud instances 🎉
