Connecting to the master node and Notebook servers
JupyterHub administrators and notebook users must connect to the cluster master node using an SSH tunnel and then connecting to web interfaces served by JupyterHub on the master node. For more information about configuring an SSH tunnel and using the tunnel to proxy Web connections, see Connect to the cluster in the Amazon EMR Management Guide.
By default, JupyterHub on Amazon EMR is available through port 9443 on the master node. The internal JupyterHub proxy also serves notebook instances through port 9443. JupyterHub and Jupyter web interfaces can be accessed using a URL with the following pattern:
https://MasterNodeDNS:9443
You can specify a different port using the c.JupyterHub.port property in the jupyterhub_config.py file. For more information, see Networking basics
By default, JupyterHub on Amazon EMR uses a self-signed certificate for SSL encryption using
HTTPS. Users are prompted to trust the self-signed certificate when they connect. You
can use a trusted certificate and keys of your own. Replace the default certificate
file, server.crt, and key file server.key in the
/etc/jupyter/conf/ directory on the master node with certificate and
key files of your own. Use the
c.JupyterHub.ssl_key and c.JupyterHub.ssl_cert properties
in the jupyterhub_config.py file to specify your SSL materials. For more information, see Security settingsjupyterhub_config.py, restart the container.
