[Question] Can nbgrader be used in this configuration

[deebuls]

As a new EC2 instance is created for each login. Can there be 1 machine always running and hosting the nbgrader while other instances coming up and interacting with nbgrader.

I believe this is possible based on this link : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OuhtpxGuboY.
I can not confirm because we did not use nbgrader (although i have installed it on each notebook EC2).
Note that we use separate NFS server to share notebooks among the students (same idea as mentioned in the link above), so I think nbgrader can be installed on the NFS server to grade the shared notebooks.
Please share with us your findings and input if you implement the nbgrader.
