[Google Cloud DataLab](https://cloud.google.com/datalab) provides a productive, interactive, and
integrated tool to explore, visualize, analyze and transform data, bringing together the power of
python, SQL, and the [Google Cloud Platform](https://cloud.google.com) with services such as
[BigQuery](https://cloud.google.com/bigquery) and [Storage](https://cloud.google.com/storage)
to extract insights and harness the value of your data.

[BigQuery](https://cloud.google.com/bigquery) and [Storage](https://cloud.google.com/storage).

DataLab builds on the interactive notebooks, and the foundation of [Jupyter](http://jupyter.org)
(formerly IPython) to enable developers, data scientists and data analysts to easily work with
their data in exploratory scenarios and extends that metaphor to developing and deploying
data processing pipelines.

DataLab deeply integrates into Google Cloud Platform. It provides a secure environment for all the
members of your cloud project to effortlessly access all data and resources available to the
project, and manage and share notebooks within the project using the associated git repository.
