A Renku session is a running interactive run-time environment that can be used to do work on data and code.

A session is created by a Session Launcher and is a running instance of an Environment. Inside a session, all of the project’s Code repositorys are cloned and Data connectors are mounted (as long as the user provided any required access credentials).

A session has access to a certain amount of compute resources (CPU, GPU, RAM, and storage). This is determined by the resource pool set on the Session Launcher. For more information about compute resources, see Resource Pools & Classes.

The sessions you launch are always private to you.
