name	vastai-multi-env-setup
description	Configure Vast.ai GPU cloud across dev, staging, and production environments. Use when isolating GPU pools per team, managing API key separation by env, or implementing spending controls per deployment tier. Trigger with phrases like "vastai environments", "vastai staging", "vastai dev prod", "vastai multi-env".

Vast.ai Multi-Environment Setup

Overview

Configure separate Vast.ai environments for development, staging, and production by using different API keys, GPU profiles, and spending limits. Vast.ai does not have built-in environment isolation, so you implement it through configuration.

Prerequisites

• Vast.ai accounts or API keys per environment
• Secrets manager for key storage
• Understanding of GPU profile requirements per tier

Instructions

Step 1: Environment Configuration

# config.py — environment-specific Vast.ai settings
import os
from dataclasses import dataclass

@dataclass
class VastEnvConfig:
    name: str
    api_key: str
    max_dph: float           # Maximum $/hr per instance
    max_instances: int       # Concurrent instance limit
    max_daily_spend: float   # Daily budget cap
    gpu_whitelist: list      # Allowed GPU types
    reliability_min: float   # Minimum reliability score
    auto_destroy_hours: int  # Auto-destroy timeout

ENVIRONMENTS = {
    "development": VastEnvConfig(
        name="development",
        api_key=os.environ.get("VASTAI_DEV_KEY", ""),
        max_dph=0.25,
        max_instances=2,
        max_daily_spend=5.00,
        gpu_whitelist=["RTX_3090", "RTX_4090"],
        reliability_min=0.90,
        auto_destroy_hours=2,
    ),
    "staging": VastEnvConfig(
        name="staging",
        api_key=os.environ.get(, ),
        max_dph=,
        max_instances=,
        max_daily_spend=,
        gpu_whitelist=[, ],
        reliability_min=,
        auto_destroy_hours=,
    ),
    : VastEnvConfig(
        name=,
        api_key=os.environ.get(, ),
        max_dph=,
        max_instances=,
        max_daily_spend=,
        gpu_whitelist=[, ],
        reliability_min=,
        auto_destroy_hours=,
    ),
