SkyPilot is a system to run, manage, and scale AI workloads on any AI infrastructure.

SkyPilot gives **AI teams** a simple interface to run jobs on any infra.
**Infra teams** get a unified control plane to manage any AI compute — with advanced scheduling, scaling, and orchestration.

## Overview

SkyPilot **is easy to use for AI teams**:
- Quickly spin up compute on your own infra
- Environment and job as code — simple and portable
- Easy job management: queue, run, and auto-recover many jobs

SkyPilot **makes Kubernetes easy for AI & Infra teams**:

- Slurm-like ease of use, cloud-native robustness
- Local dev experience on K8s: SSH into pods, sync code, or connect IDE
- Turbocharge your clusters: gang scheduling, multi-cluster, and scaling

SkyPilot **unifies multiple clusters, clouds, and hardware**:
- One interface to use reserved GPUs, Kubernetes clusters, Slurm clusters, or 20+ clouds
- [Flexible provisioning](https://docs.skypilot.co/en/latest/examples/auto-failover.html) of GPUs, TPUs, CPUs, with auto-retry
- [Team deployment](https://docs.skypilot.co/en/latest/reference/api-server/api-server.html) and resource sharing

SkyPilot **cuts your cloud costs & maximizes GPU availability**:
* Autostop: automatic cleanup of idle resources
* [Spot instance support](https://docs.skypilot.co/en/latest/examples/managed-jobs.html#running-on-spot-instances): 3-6x cost savings, with preemption auto-recovery
* Intelligent scheduling: automatically run on the cheapest & most available infra

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

Install with pip:
```bash
# Choose your clouds:
pip install -U "skypilot[kubernetes,aws,gcp,azure,oci,nebius,lambda,runpod,fluidstack,paperspace,cudo,ibm,scp,seeweb,shadeform]"
```
To get the latest features and fixes, use the nightly build or [install from source](https://docs.skypilot.co/en/latest/getting-started/installation.html):
```bash
# Choose your clouds:
pip install "skypilot-nightly[kubernetes,aws,gcp,azure,oci,nebius,lambda,runpod,fluidstack,paperspace,cudo,ibm,scp,seeweb,shadeform]"
```

## Getting started
You can find our documentation [here](https://docs.skypilot.co/).
- [Installation](https://docs.skypilot.co/en/latest/getting-started/installation.html)
- [Quickstart](https://docs.skypilot.co/en/latest/getting-started/quickstart.html)
- [CLI reference](https://docs.skypilot.co/en/latest/reference/cli.html)

## 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**](https://docs.skypilot.co/en/latest/reference/yaml-spec.html) (YAML or Python API), the task can be launched on any available infra (Kubernetes, Slurm, cloud, etc.).  This avoids vendor lock-in, and allows easily moving jobs to a different provider.

Paste the following into a file `my_task.yaml`:

```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: |
  cd mnist
  pip install -r requirements.txt

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

Launch with `sky launch` (note: [access to GPU instances](https://docs.skypilot.co/en/latest/cloud-setup/quota.html) is needed for this example):
```bash
sky launch my_task.yaml
```

SkyPilot then performs the heavy-lifting for you, including:
1. Find the cheapest & available infra across your clusters or clouds
2. Provision the GPUs (pods or VMs), with auto-failover if the infra returned capacity errors
3. Sync your local `workdir` to the provisioned cluster
4. Auto-install dependencies by running the task's `setup` commands
5. Run the task's `run` commands, and stream logs

See [Quickstart](https://docs.skypilot.co/en/latest/getting-started/quickstart.html) to get started with SkyPilot.
