I am testing skypilot for my organization and working on a PoC which involves SkyPilot.
Is there a way only to check quotes on different clouds than directly deploying a cluster? My PoC has limited budget and deploying a cluster could prove to be a little costly.

Hi @maulikr: if you'd like to check prices of different clouds without launching:

• sky launch: will show these prices, with a confirmation prompt asking if you'd like to launch
• sky show-gpus: will show prices for GPU/TPU instances

We don't have a programmatic API to query prices of all resources in a task's search space yet. Could be interesting to have.

Hi, I notice that the python launch api has a OptimizeTarget.TIME option. Can you provide more info about this optimization option? Thanks,

[WoosukKwon]

Hi @wpsystems, if you use set TIME as the target, the SkyPilot optimizer selects the types of cloud VMs in a way that the end-to-end latency of your DAG (i.e., tasks) is minimized. You can use this option in our Python API; register the time estimators for your tasks by set_time_estimator and change the optimize_target argument of sky.launch.
