About boot times: Pod on an existing node (node already running other pods): ~1 minute Fast startup — just schedules the pod and initializes the runner. Pod requiring a new node (via Karpenter): ~5 minutes Includes provisioning the node, joining the cluster, and launching the pod. EC2-based cold start (no warm pool): ~5 minutes Similar timeline — launch instance, bootstrap the runner, and register it. Warm pool (EC2 or pod): Instant Pre-provisioned runners pick up jobs immediately.
