Has Skypilot considered integrating with SLURM?

I noticed that the job scheduler in Skypilot is similar to the srun CLI used in SLURM. Has the Skypilot team considered integrating with SLURM?

Yes, the Skypilot team has considered integrating with SLURM. However, they have prioritized supporting Kubernetes for on-prem deployments due to its popularity and comprehensive feature set. They are open to contributions adding support for SLURM. SLURM is known for its ability to share finite resources in an on-prem HPC cluster, while Kubernetes is designed for dedicated usage of resources provisioned from an 'infinite' pool.
