What is dstack?

dstack is an open-source container orchestrator that simplifies workload orchestration and drives GPU utilization for ML teams. It works with any GPU cloud, on-prem cluster, or accelerated hardware.

Accelerators

dstack supports NVIDIA, AMD, TPU, Intel Gaudi, and Tenstorrent accelerators out of the box.

How does it work?

1. Set up the server

Before using dstack, ensure you've installed the server, or signed up for dstack Sky .

2. Define configurations

dstack supports the following configurations:

• Dev environments — for interactive development using a desktop IDE
• Tasks — for scheduling jobs, incl. distributed ones (or running web apps)
• Services — for deploying models (or web apps)
• Fleets — for managing cloud and on-prem clusters
• Volumes — for managing network volumes (to persist data)
• Gateways — for publishing services with a custom domain and HTTPS

Configuration can be defined as YAML files within your repo.

3. Apply configurations

Apply the configuration either via the dstack apply CLI command (or through a programmatic API.)

dstack automatically manages infrastructure provisioning and job scheduling, while also handling auto-scaling, port-forwarding, ingress, and more.
