I've been using SkyPilot for 3 months within an ML platform project and it is exactly as awesome as it sounds. The overall experience for launching and managing compute is thoughtful and ergonomic in a way that we've been conditioned not to expect from cloud compute (let alone GPU compute). It was a real shock to start using it, and now every time I need to jump back into the weeds of a cloud provider's APIs I'm reminded of how nice I have in SkyPilot land.

I think you'd have a hard time finding a better cloud launcher anywhere. I couldn't.

Underneath, Skypilot uses a Ray quite a bit. You can read is paper here: https://sigops.org/s/conferences/hotos/2021/papers/hotos21-s...

Does it support spot instances ?

they'd be crazy not to, unless the ML pipeline didn't support retries: https://skypilot.readthedocs.io/en/latest/examples/spot-jobs...
