We are excited to release SkyPilot 0.2.0, which receives a host of new features, with many enhancements and fixes.
Highlights
* [**Managed Spot**](https://skypilot.readthedocs.io/en/latest/examples/spot-jobs.html) is made much more robust and easier to use.
* Try using `sky spot launch` on your existing yamls!
* We've seen users running 1000s of spot jobs in a recurring schedule.
* [**TPU Pods**](https://skypilot.readthedocs.io/en/latest/reference/tpu.html) are now supported.
* To use a TPU Pod, simply modify e.g., `accelerators: tpu-v2-8` to `accelerators: tpu-v2-32`.
* [**Benchmark**](https://skypilot.readthedocs.io/en/latest/reference/benchmark/index.html): use `sky bench` to easily measure the performance and cost of different cloud resources for your task.
* Provisioning is sped up by ~1 minute.
* Catalog is updated to [V3](https://github.com/skypilot-org/skypilot-catalog/tree/master/catalogs/v3) with 100s of resource changes and 1000s of price changes.
* `A100-80GB` is now available on 3 clouds. Check out `sky show-gpus -a` for GPU prices.
* No action needed as this will be automatically downloaded.
CLI & Task interface
New Features
* Add zone support in YAML 1014
* Add shell completion support for CLI by 1162
* Add `--no-setup` option to `sky launch` to allow for remounting of files without running setup commands again 1184
* Add `sky start --all` to start all clusters 1065
* Add glob support for `sky storage delete` 1117
* Add `--no-follow` option to `sky logs` and `sky spot logs` (print logs so far and exit)
Enhancements
* Show vCPUs in optimizer/benchmark messages 1076
* Make entrypoint optional: for quick VM launching, no more `sky launch <flags> ''`, simply do `sky launch <flags>` 1191
* Make `sky check` automatically enable necessary GCP APIs (1197, 1209); make it more robust for AWS checks (1194)
Managed spot
New Features
* `sky spot launch` now automatically translates file_mounts in a YAML to use cloud storage. 1081 1215
* This means the same YAML for on-demand resources launched by `sky launch` can now be launched by `sky spot launch`.
* Add `--retry-until-up` for `sky spot launch`; improve the responsiveness for `sky spot cancel` https://github.com/skypilot-org/skypilot/pull/1098
* Expose a `$SKYPILOT_RUN_ID` environment variable shared by all recoveries of the same spot job (useful for identifying it in Weights & Biases) 1196
* See the last Note block in [docs](https://skypilot.readthedocs.io/en/latest/examples/spot-jobs.html).
Enhancements
* Distinguish spot controller names for different users https://github.com/skypilot-org/skypilot/pull/1101

* Enable purge for spot controller https://github.com/skypilot-org/skypilot/pull/1107
