Jupyter Deploy: the New Middle Ground between Laptops and Enterprise

The New Stack Podcast

At JupyterCon 2025, Jupyter Deploy was introduced as an open source command-line tool designed to make cloud-based Jupyter deployments quick and accessible for small teams, educators, and researchers who lack cloud engineering expertise. As described by AWS engineer Jonathan Guinegagne, these users often struggle in an “in-between” space—needing more computing power and collaboration features than a laptop offers, but without the resources for complex cloud setups.

Jupyter Deploy simplifies this by orchestrating an entire encrypted stack—using Docker, Terraform, OAuth2, and Let’s Encrypt—with minimal setup, removing the need to manually manage 15–20 cloud components. While it offers an easy on-ramp, Guinegagne notes that long-term use still requires some cloud understanding. Built by AWS’s AI Open Source team but deliberately vendor-neutral, it uses a template-based approach, enabling community-contributed deployment recipes for any cloud. Led by Brian Granger, the project aims to join the official Jupyter ecosystem, with future plans including Kubernetes integration for enterprise scalability.
