About Notebooks.azure

Notebooks at Microsoft is an overview page that lists Jupyter notebook options available through Microsoft and GitHub for Python and data science work. It does not host notebooks itself, but points to different products and services where notebooks can be created and run.

The page describes using Visual Studio Code with the Jupyter extension locally or in a web version, including connections to remote containers. It also covers GitHub Codespaces for browser-based editing stored on GitHub, Azure Machine Learning for running notebooks on a virtual machine or shared cluster with experiment tracking and dataset management, and Microsoft Fabric notebooks for Python, Scala, Spark SQL, and R, including Spark jobs, data transformations, and Markdown text. GitHub is listed for storing and sharing notebooks with version control.

The page suits Python users, data scientists, and data engineers who want to compare Microsoft and GitHub notebook environments and find documentation links to get started.
