SkyPilot Multi-Cloud Orchestration

Comprehensive guide to running ML workloads across clouds with automatic cost optimization using SkyPilot.

When to use SkyPilot

Use SkyPilot when:

Running ML workloads across multiple clouds (AWS, GCP, Azure, etc.)
Need cost optimization with automatic cloud/region selection
Running long jobs on spot instances with auto-recovery
Managing distributed multi-node training
Want unified interface for 20+ cloud providers
Need to avoid vendor lock-in

Key features:

Multi-cloud: AWS, GCP, Azure, Kubernetes, Lambda, RunPod, 20+ providers
Cost optimization: Automatic cheapest cloud/region selection
Spot instances: 3-6x cost savings with automatic recovery
Distributed training: Multi-node jobs with gang scheduling
Managed jobs: Auto-recovery, checkpointing, fault tolerance
Sky Serve: Model serving with autoscaling

Use alternatives instead:

Modal: For simpler serverless GPU with Python-native API
RunPod: For single-cloud persistent pods
Kubernetes: For existing K8s infrastructure
Ray: For pure Ray-based orchestration

Quick start

Common issues

Issue	Solution
Quota exceeded	Request quota increase, try different region
Spot preemption	Use `sky jobs launch` for auto-recovery
Slow file sync	Use `MOUNT_CACHED` mode for outputs
GPU not available	Use `any_of` for fallback clouds

Review the source

Skill source recorded

Skill instructions are recorded. This is not a runtime test, safety guarantee or compatibility certification.

Review before install: Avoid automatic install

Dependency or permission surface needs review
Permission surface may require sandboxing
Financial research output is not financial advice; require human review before any live investment decision
No critical security issues found in the provided skill content.

Open full audit

Listed tools are metadata hints, not tested compatibility. Agent prompts are suggested handoffs.

Start with one small task

1Read the source. Confirm the input, expected output, dependencies and permissions.
2Ask your agent for a plan. Approve setup and any costs before running a small isolated test.
3Check the output and changed files. Report only what actually ran; keep the source revision for reproduction.

Check the source for dependencies, API keys and third-party costs. A public repository does not mean every service is free.
