## General

### What workloads is Data Lab for Apache Spark™ suited for?

Data Lab for Apache Spark™ supports a range of workloads, including:

- Complex analytics.
- Machine learning tasks.
- High-speed operations on large datasets.

It offers scalable CPU and GPU instances with flexible node limits, and robust Apache Spark library support.
## Overview

### What is Apache Spark?

Expand All @@ -26,40 +16,52 @@ Apache Spark is an open-source unified analytics engine designed for large-scale

Apache Spark processes data in memory, which allows it to perform tasks up to 100 times faster than traditional disk-based processing frameworks like [Hadoop MapReduce](https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/MapReduce). It uses Resilient Distributed Datasets (RDDs) to store data across multiple nodes in a cluster and perform parallel operations on this data.

### How am I billed for Data Lab for Apache Spark™?
### What workloads is Data Lab for Apache Spark™ suited for?

Data Lab for Apache Spark™ is billed based on two factors:
- the main node configuration selected
- the worker node configuration selected, and the number of worker nodes in the cluster
Data Lab for Apache Spark™ supports a range of workloads, including:

## Clusters
- Complex analytics
- Machine learning tasks
- High-speed operations on large datasets

### Can I upscale or downscale a Data Lab for Apache Spark™?
It offers scalable CPU and GPU Instances with flexible node limits and robust Apache Spark library support.

Yes, you can upscale a Data Lab cluster to distribute your workloads across more worker nodes for faster processing. You can also scale it down to zero to reduce costs, while retaining your configuration and context.
## Offering and availability

You can still access the notebook of a Data Lab cluster with zero worker nodes, but you cannot perform any calculations. You can resume the activity of your cluster by provisioning at least one worker node.
### What data source options are available?

### Can I run a Data Lab for Apache Spark™ using GPUs?
Data Lab natively integrates with Scaleway Object Storage for reading and writing data, making it easy to process data directly from your buckets. Your buckets are accessible using the Scaleway console or any other Amazon S3-compatible CLI tool.

Yes, you can run your cluster on either CPUs or GPUs. Scaleway leverages Nvidia's [RAPIDS Accelerator For Apache Spark](https://www.nvidia.com/en-gb/deep-learning-ai/software/rapids/), an open-source suite of software libraries and APIs to execute end-to-end data science and analytics pipelines entirely on GPUs. This technology allows for significant acceleration of data processing tasks compared to CPU-based processing.
### What notebook is included with Dedicated Data Labs?

## Storage
The service provides a JupyterLab notebook running on a dedicated CPU Instance, fully integrated with the Apache Spark cluster for seamless data processing and calculations.

### Can I connect to S3 buckets from other cloud providers?
Data Lab for Apache Spark™ is billed based on two factors:
- The main node configuration selected
- The worker node configuration selected, and the number of worker nodes in the cluster.

Currently, connections are limited to Scaleway's Object Storage environment.
