When NOT to use skypilot

Constraint-first guidance from category fit and live maintenance signals - not marketing copy.

  • Avoid SkyPilot if you are working exclusively on a single cloud platform without a need for multi-cloud resource management or optimization.
  • Not recommended if your primary requirement is a specialized training algorithm that lacks support within the Python environment or the limitations of existing SkyPilot capabilities.
