Fleets

Over the last few releases, we’ve been reworking how fleets work to radically simplify management and make it fully declarative.

Previously, you had to specify a fleet via fleets explicitly — otherwise, dstack always created a new one. Now, dstack automatically picks an existing fleet if it fits the requirements, creating a new one only when needed.

For more on the fleet roadmap, see this meta issue.

User Interface

Grouping offers by backend

The Offers page in the UI now lets you group available offers by backend, making it easier to compare options across cloud providers.

Breaking changes

• The tensordock backend hasn’t worked for a long time (due to the API it relied on being deprecated) and has now been removed.
