What is Azure Notebooks?
If we talk about netbooks, we talk about a free hosted service that allows developers to run Jupyter netbooks in the cloud. The biggest advantage of the cloud is that no installation is required.
Notebooks is an open-source project that combines texts, codes, data, and graphics in the same document. Nowadays, it is very popular for omnichannel uses, like data science, statistical modeling, machine learning, data transformation, etc.
It has become more powerful because developers can collaborate on them through the cloud, which facilitates the sharing of notebooks (and associated data files) with other authorized users, thus avoiding the complications associated with sharing notebooks by external means such as source code repositories. With Azure Notebooks, users can also copy (or "clone") notebooks into their own account for editing or experimentation, which is especially useful for training.
