Kubeflow .4 and K8S 1.13.2: Jupyter Notebook Spawn Wrinkle

Two things worth knowing about Kubeflow .4 and K8S 1.13.2. First, the new spawning UI for Kubeflow is a little more attractive and straightforward than it was under Kubeflow .3.

Second, all of the instructions I wrote about needing to create a DefaultStorageClass and PersistentStorageVolume still apply, as in .3. However, in addition, you also now need to explicitly mark the storage class you create as being the default. Storage classes no longer appear to be the default simply by virtue of them being the only ones on your system. So, if you don't add in the attribution shown below, your Jupyter Notebook spawn requests will continue to spin and spin and spin...

Fix that, create a brand new Spawn request (because your old ones won't automatically resolve their unsatisfied PVC's against your new default SC) and you'll be off to the races!

Of course, in my case, I have a new GPU. So, I have some extra work to do, it seems. :-/
