Node Provider

NodeProvider is the interface that ray uses to interact with cloud providers. First, you should read through the NodeProvider class definition here. The docstrings give a good idea of what the NodeProvider class is.

Implementing a Node Provider

1. Create the directory sky/skylet/providers/{cloud_name}

2. Add __init__.py to the directory and add the following code:

   from sky.skylet.providers.{cloud_name}.node_provider import {CloudName}NodeProvider

3. Copy the node_provider.py template into the directory.

4. Complete the template. The template has comments to guide you through the process.
