# JupyterHub integration for Anaconda Platform (Cloud)

Anaconda Platform (Cloud) can be integrated with JupyterHub to provide you with a centrally managed JupyterHub instance with enhanced security, authentication, and <Tooltip tip="Software files and information about the software, such as its name, the specific version, and a description, that are bundled into a file that can be installed and managed by a package manager.">package</Tooltip> management capabilities.

## What does this integration provide?

This integration provides a centrally administered JupyterHub server for your organization. Authentication, available <Tooltip tip="A location (URL or file path) in a repository where conda looks for packages.">channels</Tooltip>, and management of computing resources are all configurable during installation. Notebooks automatically use the channels you configure to build <Tooltip tip="A self-contained, isolated space for installing and running software packages.">environments</Tooltip>, so your users can focus on their work instead of environment security.

This integration provides each user with a standalone JupyterLab server that includes:

* A secure, standard role
* Access to admin-defined channels populated with safe, Anaconda-curated packages
* Leveraging of Anaconda Platform's authentication and security capabilities
* Access to centralized notebooks

## How is this different from standard JupyterHub?

This integration combines JupyterHub with the added authentication, security, and management capabilities of Anaconda Platform, all in one centralized location. Instead of managing JupyterHub separately, you get:

* Integrated user authentication
* Access to your organization's curated package channels
* Centralized user management
* Enhanced security policies and compliance features
