Open infrastructure for research and education

We’re a non-profit that believes communities shouldn’t choose between managing their own servers and vendor lock-in. We operate shared cloud infrastructure so you can focus on discovery, and we contribute to the open source tools that make it possible.

How our model works Join our network

Each community gets a hub with the tools, data, and resources for their workflows

Environment selector interface — Resource and user management

JupyterLab interface. — Interactive interfaces

MyST Markdown interface. — Computational knowledge bases

Membership in our network provides access to our hub platform so your community can create and share knowledge with open infrastructure.

What is a community hub?

A hub is a cloud environment where your community can access shared tools, data, and computational resources.

Custom environments
Choose from community-maintained stacks or bring your own.

Managed access
Community leaders control who can use the hub.

Scalable compute
From laptops to GPUs, sized for your workflows.

What makes us different

Non-profit, no vendor lock-in

We exist to serve research and education communities, not shareholders. Your Right to Replicate means you can take your infrastructure anywhere, with or without us.

Open source collaboration

We listen to researchers and educators, then work with upstream open source projects on solutions that benefit everyone — not just our members.

Cross-community learning

Our network connects communities across disciplines. When geoscientists and biologists face similar challenges, we bridge the gap through shared tools and practices.

BIDS joins the mybinder.org federation with help from 2i2c

The Berkeley Institute for Data Science (BIDS) has joined the mybinder.org federation, contributing a new node alongside 2i2c and GESIS. BIDS is the birthplace of mybinder.org, so it’s great to see them back as an active federation member.

Report from the Jupyter Security Working Group security tooling sprint

The Jupyter Security Working Group recently held a Security Tooling Sprint. It was a timely event given the recent spate of software supply chain attacks across the tech world. The sprint covered two main areas:

Upgrading community infrastructure to Kubernetes 1.34 and JupyterHub 4.3.3

We’ve completed a major round of infrastructure upgrades across all 2i2c-managed hubs - every hub is now running Kubernetes 1.34 and Z2JH helm chart 4.3.3. Running up-to-date versions of both Kubernetes and the JupyterHub helm chart ensures that our communities get the best support and reliability, both in terms of features and security.
