CoLab is pretty cool. They have GPU instances.
Kaggle also has GPU instances now with Kernels and Learn.
https://www.kaggle.com/kernels
https://www.kaggle.com/learn/overview

We worked on a Kaggle data science competition as a team of individuals
teaching each other through our local Python Users Group. It was a house
prices prediction competition; similar to the well-known Boston house
prices dataset included with scikit-learn.

There are a bunch of hosted Jupyter Notebook services now:

To host local instances of Jupyter for a group of size n, there are
JupyterHub 'spawners' and 'authenticators'.

Gvisor is strongly recommended for sandboxing hosted containers with Docker:

Binder builds upon JupyterHub but doesn't have auth yet:
