Typical ML workflows include multiple steps, e.g. pre-processing data, training, fine-tuning, validation, etc.

With dstack, you can define ML workflows in a simple YAML format, and run them from CLI on either your own servers or using spot instances in your own cloud.

How dstack works

1. You define .dstack/workflows.yaml and .dstack/variables.yaml files inside your project (must be a Git repository) .

2. You install the dstack CLI via pip.
3. You either install dstack-runner daemon on your servers, or use the dstack aws configure to authorize dstack to use your own cloud to create runners on-demand using spot instances.
4. You use the dstack CLI to run workflows, manage runs, jobs, logs, artifacts, runners.

5. When a workflow is submitted via the CLI (e.g. via dstack run) , the request is sent to the dstack server. The dstack server creates jobs for the submitted run, and assign them to available runners (either servers where you've installed dstack-runner or on-demand spot instances in your cloud that you allowed creating).
6. Runners execute assigned jobs, report their logs in real time, and upload artifacts once the job is finished.
