We are using Google AI platform. One of the requirement I have is as below
When a data scientist will need to do some EDA on a Dataset, he will send it to support team who will push it to GCS and create an external table on Bigquery and also create a notebook instance for the data scientist.
My question is , do we need to create a separate notebook instance for each data scientist. Each instance costs around 100 USD/month. It will be a lot of money, if we have to do this.
Is it possible to stop and restart the instance programmatically(or auto resume) without losing the notebooks?
You can stop the VM to save money. And start it when you need it.
You can imagine to perform a script to shut down automatically all the notebook every night. Like this, if a data scientist forget to shut down their VM, you do it for them.
