Depends on your requirements.

Vast is a grey-market with very few security measures in place. A host can snoop on your workloads very easily for example because they have full access to the docker host.

You're also limited in that you can only deploy a single container so if you just wanted some spot nodes to scale out your existing Dagster cluster etc.. You're not going to be able to cleanly plug Vast into your existing infrastructure deployment process.

But if you're just playing around or don't have major security/data restrictions and only want a jhub notebook or nvidia-glx-desktop then yeah it's a very hard deal to beat.
