- RStudio Server notebook image
With the RStudio Server notebook image, you can access the RStudio IDE, an integrated development environment for R. The R programming language is used for statistical computing and graphics to support data analysis and predictions.
To use the RStudio Server notebook image, you must first build it by creating a secret and triggering the
BuildConfig, and then enable it in the OpenShift AI UI by editing therstudio-rhel9image stream. For more information, see Building the RStudio Server workbench images.
Disclaimer: Red Hat supports managing workbenches in OpenShift AI. However, Red Hat does not provide support for the RStudio software. RStudio Server is available through rstudio.org and is subject to their licensing terms. You should review their licensing terms before you use this sample workbench.
- CUDA - RStudio Server notebook image
With the CUDA - RStudio Server notebook image, you can access the RStudio IDE and NVIDIA CUDA Toolkit. The RStudio IDE is an integrated development environment for the R programming language for statistical computing and graphics. With the NVIDIA CUDA toolkit, you can enhance your work by using GPU-accelerated libraries and optimization tools.
