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 [dev clusters](https://skypilot.readthedocs.io/en/latest/examples/interactive-development.html), [jobs](https://skypilot.readthedocs.io/en/latest/examples/managed-jobs.html), and [serving](https://skypilot.readthedocs.io/en/latest/serving/sky-serve.html) on any infra
- Easy job management: queue, run, and auto-recover many jobs

SkyPilot **supports multiple clusters, clouds, and hardware** ([the Sky](https://arxiv.org/abs/2205.07147)):
- Bring your reserved GPUs, Kubernetes clusters, or 12+ clouds
- [Flexible provisioning](https://skypilot.readthedocs.io/en/latest/examples/auto-failover.html) of GPUs, TPUs, CPUs, with auto-retry

SkyPilot **cuts your cloud costs & maximizes GPU availability**:
* [Autostop](https://skypilot.readthedocs.io/en/latest/reference/auto-stop.html): automatic cleanup of idle resources
* [Managed Spot](https://skypilot.readthedocs.io/en/latest/examples/managed-jobs.html): 3-6x cost savings using spot instances, with preemption auto-recovery
* [Optimizer](https://skypilot.readthedocs.io/en/latest/examples/auto-failover.html): 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:
```bash
# 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](https://skypilot.readthedocs.io/en/latest/getting-started/installation.html):
```bash
# Choose your clouds:
pip install "skypilot-nightly[kubernetes,aws,gcp,azure,oci,lambda,runpod,fluidstack,paperspace,cudo,ibm,scp]"
```

[Current supported infra](https://skypilot.readthedocs.io/en/latest/getting-started/installation.html) (Kubernetes; AWS, GCP, Azure, OCI, Lambda Cloud, Fluidstack, RunPod, Cudo, Paperspace, Cloudflare, Samsung, IBM, VMware vSphere):

## Getting Started
You can find our documentation [here](https://skypilot.readthedocs.io/en/latest/).
- [Installation](https://skypilot.readthedocs.io/en/latest/getting-started/installation.html)
- [Quickstart](https://skypilot.readthedocs.io/en/latest/getting-started/quickstart.html)
- [CLI reference](https://skypilot.readthedocs.io/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://skypilot.readthedocs.io/en/latest/reference/yaml-spec.html) (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`:

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

Launch with `sky launch` (note: [access to GPU instances](https://skypilot.readthedocs.io/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 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
