    • This way Jupyterhub is used to create jupyter/ipython enviroment for multiple users.Instead of subscribing to multiple VMs, one can subscribe to single VM and create multiple user to use the notebook.
    • It can be used in a classes of students, a corporate data science group or scientific research group.
    • It is a multi-user Hub that spawns, manages, and proxies multiple instances of the single-user Jupyter notebook server.
