This release has been yanked by its maintainers, and will be ignored by installers, except when explicitly specified.
Consider using release 1.0.0.dev20261016 instead.
Reason given by maintainers: There is a forward compatibility issue with managed jobs and service in this version. Please use a later nightly build.

SkyPilot is a framework for running AI and batch workloads on any infra, offering unified execution, high cost savings, and high GPU availability.

SkyPilot abstracts away infra burdens:

  • Launch clusters, jobs, and serving on any infra
  • Easy job management: queue, run, and auto-recover many jobs

SkyPilot supports multiple clusters, clouds, and hardware (the Sky):

  • Bring your reserved GPUs, Kubernetes clusters, or 12+ clouds
  • Flexible provisioning of GPUs, TPUs, CPUs, with auto-retry

SkyPilot cuts your cloud costs & maximizes GPU availability:

  • Autostop: automatic cleanup of idle resources
  • Managed Spot: 3-6x cost savings using spot instances, with preemption auto-recovery
  • Optimizer: 2x cost savings by auto-picking the cheapest & most available infra

SkyPilot supports your existing GPU, TPU, and CPU workloads, with no code changes.

Install with pip:

# Choose your clouds:
pip install -U "skypilot[kubernetes,aws,gcp,azure,oci,lambda,runpod,fluidstack,paperspace,cudo,ibm,scp]"

To get the latest features and fixes, use the nightly build or install from source:

# Choose your clouds:
pip install "skypilot-nightly[kubernetes,aws,gcp,azure,oci,lambda,runpod,fluidstack,paperspace,cudo,ibm,scp]"

Current supported infra (Kubernetes; AWS, GCP, Azure, OCI, Lambda Cloud, Fluidstack, RunPod, Cudo, Digital Ocean, Paperspace, Cloudflare, Samsung, IBM, Vast.ai, VMware vSphere):

Getting Started

You can find our documentation here.

SkyPilot in 1 Minute

A SkyPilot task specifies: resource requirements, data to be synced, setup commands, and the task commands.

Once written in this unified interface (YAML or Python API), the task can be launched on any available cloud. This avoids vendor lock-in, and allows easily moving jobs to a different provider.

Paste the following into a file my_task.yaml:

resources:
  accelerators: A100:8  # 8x NVIDIA A100 GPU

num_nodes: 1  # Number of VMs to launch

# Working directory (optional) containing the project codebase.
# Its contents are synced to ~/sky_workdir/ on the cluster.
workdir: ~/torch_examples

# Commands to be run before executing the job.
# Typical use: pip install -r requirements.txt, git clone, etc.
setup: |
  pip install "torch<2.2" torchvision --index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu121

# Commands to run as a job.
# Typical use: launch the main program.
run: |
  cd mnist
  python main.py --epochs 1

Prepare the workdir by cloning:

git clone https://github.com/pytorch/examples.git ~/torch_examples

Launch with sky launch (note: access to GPU instances is needed for this example):

sky launch my_task.yaml

SkyPilot then performs the heavy-lifting for you, including:

  1. Find the lowest priced VM instance type across different clouds
  2. Provision the VM, with auto-failover if the cloud returned capacity errors
  3. Sync the local workdir to the VM
  4. Run the task's setup commands to prepare the VM for running the task
  5. Run the task's run commands
