## Overview

SkyPilot **is easy to use for AI users**:
- 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 smart failover
- [Team deployment](https://docs.skypilot.co/en/latest/reference/api-server/api-server.html) and resource sharing

SkyPilot **maximizes GPU fleet utilization**:
* Autostop: automatic cleanup of idle resources
* Binpacking: workload binpacking on shared clusters
* Intelligent scheduler: automatically schedule on the most available infra

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

Install with uv ([also supported](https://docs.skypilot.co/en/latest/getting-started/installation.html): pip, nightly, from source)
```bash
# Choose your clouds:
uv pip install "skypilot[kubernetes,aws,gcp,azure,oci,nebius,lambda,runpod,fluidstack,paperspace,cudo,ibm,scp,seeweb,shadeform,verda]"
```

To use SkyPilot directly with your agent (Claude Code, Codex, etc.), install the [SkyPilot Skill](https://docs.skypilot.co/en/latest/getting-started/skill.html). Tell your agent:
```
Fetch and follow https://github.com/skypilot-org/skypilot/blob/HEAD/agent/INSTALL.md to install the skypilot skill
```

Current supported infra: Kubernetes, Slurm, AWS, GCP, Azure, OCI, CoreWeave, Nebius, Lambda Cloud, RunPod, Fluidstack,
Cudo, Digital Ocean, Paperspace, Cloudflare, Samsung, IBM, Vast.ai, VMware vSphere, Seeweb, Prime Intellect, Shadeform, Verda Cloud, VastData, Crusoe.

## Getting started

[Install SkyPilot](https://docs.skypilot.co/en/latest/getting-started/installation.html) in 1 minute. Then, launch your first cluster in 2 minutes in [Quickstart](https://docs.skypilot.co/en/latest/getting-started/quickstart.html).

SkyPilot is BYOC: Everything is launched within your cloud accounts, VPCs, and clusters.

## Benefits of SkyPilot on Kubernetes

SkyPilot makes Kubernetes AI-native.

It turbocharges your existing Kubernetes clusters by **accelerating AI/ML velocity**:

- AI-friendly interface to launch jobs and deployments
- Much simplified interactive dev for K8s (SSH / sync code / connect IDE to pods)

...and **optimizing GPU scheduling, utilization, and scaling**:

- Advanced scheduling: Gang scheduling, multi-node jobs, and queueing
- Multi-cluster support: Bring all your clusters under one control plane
- Multi-cloud support: One consistent interface to manage many providers

See [SkyPilot vs Vanilla Kubernetes](https://docs.skypilot.co/en/latest/reference/kubernetes/skypilot-and-vanilla-k8s.html) and this [blog post](https://skypilot.ai/blog/ai-on-kubernetes) for more details.

## 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.
