What is dstack?
Open-source control plane for GPU compute on any cloud.
Who is dstack best for?
dstack is best for ML teams running GPU jobs across several clouds or their own servers.
Teams with GPUs in several clouds
One control plane and the same YAML configs provision fleets on AWS, GCP, Azure, Nebius, Lambda, Runpod and other GPU clouds.
Teams already on Kubernetes or Slurm
It plugs into existing Kubernetes or Slurm clusters, or plain servers over SSH, and runs training jobs and inference services on top of them.
Cutting GPU spend
dstack Sky lists on-demand and spot GPUs from many providers on one account, so a job that can be interrupted can run on cheaper spot capacity.
Data centers selling compute
dstack Factory adds tenant isolation, usage metering and billing for operators who rent out GPUs or serve tokens to many customers.
How much does dstack cost?
dstack is free and open source when you host it yourself, the hosted dstack Sky charges marketplace GPU rates from $0.97 per GPU-hour on demand, and dstack Factory is sold after a demo call.
- You run the dstack server yourself
- Works with your GPU cloud accounts, Kubernetes, Slurm, VMs or bare metal
- GPUs are billed by your own cloud or hardware
- H100 80GB from $2.89 on demand or $1.09 spot per GPU-hour
- dstack hosts the server, with a built-in HTTPS gateway and usage metering
- One account and one bill across the marketplace GPU clouds
dstack Sky marketplace rates vary by cloud partner, per GPU-hour: B300 288GB $7.58 to $17.80 on demand ($3.79 to $6.49 spot), B200 192GB $6.23 to $17.91 ($2.41 to $5.44 spot), H200 141GB $4.20 to $9.89 ($2.10 to $9.89 spot), A100 80GB $1.59 to $5.58 ($0.87 to $4.29 spot), MI300X 192GB $1.99 to $2.99 on demand only; the cheapest spot GPU listed is the A100 40GB from $0.34. If you connect your own cloud accounts to Sky, compute is billed directly by those clouds. dstack Factory, a multi-tenant stack for AI labs and data centers with metering, billing and serverless inference, has no listed price and starts with a demo call.
