What is a Cloud Notebook?
A Cloud Notebook is a web-based interactive computing environment, similar to Jupyter Notebooks, that allows users to create, edit, and run documents containing live code, equations, visualizations, and narrative text. Cloud Notebooks are hosted on cloud platforms and can be accessed from any device with an internet connection, making them a popular choice for data scientists, researchers, and developers working on collaborative projects, data analysis tasks, and machine learning model development.
