Thanks for sharing dstack on HN. I'm the creator of dstack and would love to hear your feedback. We're also working on creating a new standard for GPU orchestration, similar to Kubernetes.

Any chance you'll support "traditional" batch HPC environments like Slurm?

  Yup, that’s what we are building now. Tasks will allow to specify how many nodes you need, and dstack will automatically provision a cluster or will run it using the one that is already provisioned. Please feel free to ping me on our Diacord if you’d like to test an early version!

From the screencast on the homepage and in the docs [1], I see Google and Azure clouds are supported as targets. Is there a list of other targets? Is Runpod and vast.ai supported for example (since they're more focused on GPUs)? 1: https://dstack.ai/docs/concepts/dev-environments/#define-a-configuration https://dstack.ai/docs/concepts/dev-environments/#define-a-c...

  Vast.ai is supported. RunPod not yet but on our list! The full list of all supported targets can be found at https://dstack.ai/docs/installation/ https://dstack.ai/docs/installation/

  To be frank, I’m not a fan of Kubernetes as long as GPU is concerned. Kubernetes has a very large legacy. Why we think dstack can do better: 1. Lightweight-ness - that it very easy to integrate dstack with modern cloud GPU providers. 2. AI-friendly interface built-in - no need to things like KubeFlow and alike. FTR, we integrate dstack with Kubernetes too - already [1] But our native cloud integrations can be a lot more efficient. For example, when it comes to auto-scaling - this part is in work 1. https://dstack.ai/changelog/0.15.1/ https://dstack.ai/changelog/0.15.1/
