ONYXIA

The problem we're solving: Large organizations, including public administrations, manage sensitive data and may be constrained by sovereignty concerns that prevent the use of major cloud services like AWS. How can these organizations create a suitable data science environment for their teams? Onyxia Datalab is an open source software by Insee that offers a solution by enabling the creation of a data science platform on a Kubernetes cluster. At its core, Onyxia is a Helm chart launcher with many data-oriented features like S3 integration. French students, teachers, or researchers also have access to a public instance loaded with significant computing resources, including Nvidia GPUs, available at https://datalab.sspcloud.fr and is hosted at the Insee headquarters in Paris. This initiative is by the French public service, aimed at supporting the data science community without commercial intent.
