+# SkyPilot Multi-Cloud Synthetic Sciencestion
+
+Comprehensive guide to running ML workloads across clouds with automatic cost optimization using SkyPilot.
+
+## When to use SkyPilot
+
+**Use SkyPilot when:**
+- Running ML workloads across multiple clouds (AWS, GCP, Azure, etc.)
+- Need cost optimization with automatic cloud/region selection
+- Running long jobs on spot instances with auto-recovery
+- Managing distributed multi-node training
+- Want unified interface for 20+ cloud providers
+- Need to avoid vendor lock-in
+
+**Key features:**
+- **Multi-cloud**: AWS, GCP, Azure, Kubernetes, Lambda, RunPod, 20+ providers
+- **Cost optimization**: Automatic cheapest cloud/region selection
+- **Spot instances**: 3-6x cost savings with automatic recovery
+- **Distributed training**: Multi-node jobs with gang scheduling
+- **Managed jobs**: Auto-recovery, checkpointing, fault tolerance
+- **Sky Serve**: Model serving with autoscaling
+
+**Use alternatives instead:**
+- **Modal**: For simpler serverless GPU with Python-native API
+- **RunPod**: For single-cloud persistent pods
+- **Kubernetes**: For existing K8s infrastructure
+- **Ray**: For pure Ray-based orchestration
+

+  fi
+```
+
+## Managed jobs
+
+### Spot recovery
+
+```bash
+# Launch managed job with spot recovery
+sky jobs launch -n my-job train.yaml
+```
+
+### Checkpointing
+
+```yaml
+name: training-job
+
+file_mounts:
+  /checkpoints:
+    name: my-checkpoints
+    store: s3
+    mode: MOUNT
+
+resources:

+sky jobs cancel my-job
+```
+
+## File mounts and storage
+
+### Local file sync
+
+```yaml
+workdir: ./my-project  # Synced to ~/sky_workdir
+
+file_mounts:
+  /data/config.yaml: ./config.yaml
+  ~/.vimrc: ~/.vimrc
+```
+
+### Cloud storage
+
+```yaml
+file_mounts:

+  /datasets:
+    source: s3://my-bucket/datasets
+    mode: MOUNT  # Stream from S3
+
+  # Copy GCS bucket
+  /models:

+```
+
+### Storage modes
+
+| Mode | Description | Best For |
+|------|-------------|----------|
+| `MOUNT` | Stream from cloud | Large datasets, read-heavy |
+| `COPY` | Pre-fetch to disk | Small files, random access |
+| `MOUNT_CACHED` | Cache with async upload | Checkpoints, outputs |
+
+## Sky Serve (Model Serving)

+
+```bash
+# Deploy
+sky serve up -n my-service service.yaml
+
+# Check status
+sky serve status

+
+### Autoscaling policies
+
+```yaml
+service:

+  load_balancing_policy: round_robin
+```
+
+## Cost optimization
+
+### Automatic cloud selection
+
+```yaml
+# SkyPilot finds cheapest option
+resources:
+  accelerators: A100:8
+  # No cloud specified - auto-select cheapest
+```
+
+```bash
+# Show optimizer decision
+sky launch task.yaml --dryrun
+```
+
+### Cloud preferences

+```yaml
+resources:
+  accelerators: A100:8
+  any_of:
+    - cloud: gcp
+      region: us-central1
+    - cloud: aws
+      region: us-east-1
+    - cloud: azure
+```
+
+### Environment variables
+
+```yaml
+envs:
+  HF_TOKEN: $HF_TOKEN  # Inherited from local env
+  WANDB_API_KEY: $WANDB_API_KEY
+
+# Or use secrets
+secrets:
+  - HF_TOKEN
+  - WANDB_API_KEY
+```
+
+## Common workflows
+
+### Workflow 1: Fine-tuning with checkpoints
+
+```yaml
+name: llm-finetune
+
+file_mounts:
+  /checkpoints:
+    name: finetune-checkpoints
+    store: s3
+    mode: MOUNT_CACHED
+
+resources:
+  accelerators: A100:8
+  use_spot: true
+
+setup: |
+  pip install transformers accelerate
+
+run: |
+  python train.py \
+    --checkpoint-dir /checkpoints \
+    --resume
+```
+
+### Workflow 2: Hyperparameter sweep
+
+```yaml
+name: hp-sweep-${RUN_ID}
+
+envs:
+  RUN_ID: 0
+  LEARNING_RATE: 1e-4
+  BATCH_SIZE: 32
+
+resources:
+  accelerators: A100:1
+  use_spot: true
+
+run: |
+  python train.py \
+    --lr $LEARNING_RATE \
+    --batch-size $BATCH_SIZE \
+    --run-id $RUN_ID
+```
+
+```bash
+# Launch multiple jobs
+for i in {1..10}; do
+  sky jobs launch sweep.yaml \
+    --env RUN_ID=$i \
+    --env LEARNING_RATE=$(python -c "import random; print(10**random.uniform(-5,-3))")
+done
+```
+
+## Debugging
+
+```bash
+# SSH to cluster
+ssh mycluster
+
+# View logs
+sky logs mycluster
+
+# Check job queue
+sky queue mycluster
+
+# View managed job logs
+sky jobs logs my-job
+```
+
+## Common issues
+
+| Issue | Solution |
+|-------|----------|
+| Quota exceeded | Request quota increase, try different region |
+| Spot preemption | Use `sky jobs launch` for auto-recovery |
+| Slow file sync | Use `MOUNT_CACHED` mode for outputs |
+| GPU not available | Use `any_of` for fallback clouds |
