Cloud Datalab is a powerful interactive tool created to explore, analyze and visualize data with a single click on
GCP. It runs locally and optionally on Google Compute Engine and connects to multiple cloud services easily,
so developers can focus on exploring their data. It is built on Jupyter (formerly IPython), which boasts a thriving
ecosystem of modules and a robust knowledge base. It enables analysis of data on Google BigQuery, Google
Compute Engine, and Google Cloud Storage using Python, SQL, and JavaScript (for BigQuery user-defined
functions). It supports TensorFlow-based deep ML models in addition to scikit-learn.
