fleet¶

The fleet configuration type allows creating and updating fleets.

Configuration files must be inside the project repo, and their names must end with .dstack.yml (e.g. .dstack.yml or fleet.dstack.yml are both acceptable). Any configuration can be run via dstack apply.

Examples¶

Cloud¶

type: fleet
# The name is optional, if not specified, generated randomly
name: my-fleet

# The number of instances
nodes: 4
# Ensure the instances are interconnected
placement: cluster

# Uncomment to leverage spot instances
#spot_policy: auto

resources:
  gpu:
    # 24GB or more vRAM
    memory: 24GB..
    # One or more GPU
    count: 1..

  user: ubuntu
  identity_file: ~/.ssh/id_rsa
  hosts:
