4. Connect to Feast using Jupyter

After all pods are running, connect to the Jupyter Notebook Server running in the cluster.

To connect to the remote Feast server you just created, forward a port from the remote k8s cluster to your local machine.

You can now connect to the bundled Jupyter Notebook Server at localhost:8888 and follow the example Jupyter notebook.
