How can I specify a local disk attached to a GCP machine in SkyPilot for better performance?

I'm using SkyPilot on Google Cloud and facing performance issues with the boot disk. Is there a way to specify a local disk for better performance?

  • You can specify a local disk for better performance in SkyPilot by adjusting the disk_tier parameter in the resources section of your configuration file.
resources:
  disk_tier: best
  • This setting will use faster disks compared to the default configuration.
  • Experiment with different disk tiers like best, high, medium, etc., to find the optimal performance for your workload.
  • Keep in mind that the bottleneck might not always be disk-related, so monitor performance metrics to identify the root cause of any performance issues.
