Jupyter notebooks on the iPad Pro

tl;dr this post explains how to setup a good Jupyter + Tensorflow development environment running on the iPad w/ AWS

Is the best computer the one you have on you? This is the question that I’ve been asking myself more often since I got an iPad Pro w/ keyboard case. It’s lightweight and has great battery life with cellular connectivity so I carry it often. I find myself doing more and more work on the iPad, but one area stuck out where I still need to use a Mac: any development work I do building ML systems or exploring data. While I don’t anticipate being able to use the iPad for everything in this regard, I wanted to be able to run Python notebooks, and use frameworks like Tensorflow on the go. The resources for doing so were pretty scattered and there were some pitfalls so I took the time to document the setup. If you have any tips or suggestions after reading, please send my way!
