CryoCloud Best Practices#

  • Who and how you can access the CryoCloud - Setup instructions in Getting Started section

  • To save money for us, when you finish on the Hub, go to File > Hub Control Panel > push Stop Server

    • Hub will automatically shut off after 90 min of no use or logging off otherwise

  • Keep personal storage to <10 Gb unless you talk to us about it

    • We recommend that you stream data (no download) or download and delete automatically where possible

    • It costs $90 a month to store 2 Tb of data

    • We need to apply for more cloud credits if our users need more storage

  • Pip installs on your hub last only for that session

    • If multiple people use a missing package, let us know and we will add it to everyone’s environment

    • Guidance for adding packages in Contributing/Workflows

    • Otherwise you have two options to maintain shareability and replicability:

      • Install on each use with %pip install packagename run in the first cell of your Jupyter notebook

      • Use own additional environment using instructions in Python Installation and Environments
