## What is SPYT? { #what-is-spyt }

SPYT powered by Apache Spark enables a Spark cluster to be started with YTsaurus computational capacity.  The cluster is started in a [YTsaurus Vanilla operation](https://ytsaurus.tech/docs/en/user-guide/data-processing/operations/vanilla.md), then takes a certain amount of resources from the quota and occupies them constantly.  Spark can read [static](https://ytsaurus.tech/docs/en/user-guide/storage/static-tables.md), as well as [dynamic YTsaurus tables](https://ytsaurus.tech/docs/en/user-guide/dynamic-tables/overview.md), perform computations on them, and record the result in the static table.
