0.20.8

CLI

dstack event --watch

The dstack event command now supports a --watch option for real-time event tracking.

Event coverage has also been improved, with events for run in-place update and service registration now available.

dstack fleet

The dstack fleet command now includes fleet-level information such as nodes, resources, spot policy, and backend details, with individual instances listed underneath.

Skills

SKILL.md

If you're using agents such as Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, etc., it’s now possible to install dstack skills.

npx skills add dstackai/dstack

These skills make the agent fully aware of the configuration syntax and CLI commands.

Services

Probes

UI

The UI now displays probe statuses for services, helping monitor replica readiness and health.

until_ready

A new until_ready option for probes allows stopping probe execution once the ready_after threshold is reached. This is useful for resource-intensive probes that only need to run during startup:

probes:
  - type: http
     url: /health
     until_ready: true
     ready_after: 2

Model probes

Services that use the model property to declare a chat model with an OpenAI-compatible interface now receive an automatically configured probe that checks model availability by requesting /v1/chat/completions.

Backends

RunPod

Community Cloud

RunPod Community Cloud is now disabled by default to ensure a more reliable experience. You can still enable Community Cloud in the backend settings. dstack Sky users can enable Community Cloud only when using their own RunPod credentials.

CUDO

Due to CUDO Compute winding down its public on-demand offering, the cudo backend is now deprecated.
