Questions about deployments

Hi there!

First off just wanted to say this is very impressive. It's a tool that I have always wanted but never got around to making. So thanks!

I had a question about how configurable environments are. My current work is an AWS shop and we're thinking of using skypilot for some adhoc data analysis. I skimmed through the docs and might have missed this but is it possible to specify things such as Security Group or VPC the EC2 instances run in?

Hello @sam-phinizy! Yes, you can bring your own VPC on AWS. We currently support selecting your VPC by name (the name column in console). You can create a ~/.sky/config.yaml file with the following contents:

aws:
  # The VPC to use in each region.
  #
  # If this is set, any region without a unique VPC with this name will not be
  # able to launch SkyPilot nodes. SkyPilot's failover will still properly
  # function to look for such an eligible region.
  #
  # Optional; default: None (SkyPilot will use the default VPC in each region).
  vpc_name: <FILL IN YOUR VPC NAME>

This was added quite recently in #1512 and we've been pilot testing it with some users, which is why docs haven't been added.
