There is no notebook-specific config to the clusters.  Clicking the
`start` button for profile 'foo' should be identical to doing
`ipcluster start --profile foo`.  All of the parallel
connection/configuration docs still apply.  That means that the
controller creates `ipcontroller-{client|engine}.json` files in
profile/security, and you can start engines with `ipengine
--profile=foo` or `ipcluster engines --profile=foo` to connect to it.
If your machines are not on a shared filesystem, you will need to pass
the connection files around as described in the docs.
