Orchestra Platform

Orchestra Platform Documentation

Orchestra provisions isolated, time-limited workshop sessions — RStudio, JupyterLab, or any container — on Kubernetes, with authentication and cleanup handled for you. These docs cover installing it, configuring workshop images, and how the platform works under the hood.

Getting Started Install Orchestra and launch your first workshop.
Configuring a Workshop Image Run any stock image no-auth via a template's port, env, and args.
Architecture How the operator, API, frontend, and sidecar fit together.
Deployment Helm install, ingress, and GCP Autopilot.
Contributing Run the test suites and contribute changes.
Decision Records Why the platform is built the way it is.

What Orchestra is good for

Section titled “What Orchestra is good for”
  • Teaching & workshops — bioinformatics courses, data-science bootcamps, conference tutorials.
  • Research — reproducible analysis sessions and collaborative environments.
  • Any stack — point a template at any container image; it isn’t limited to a single field or toolchain.
