Autoscaling Group - CI/CD Glossary Definition
An autoscaling group is a managed set of identical instances that grows or shrinks automatically based on demand or schedule, and replaces members that fail health checks. CI runner fleets often run as one.
Why it matters
It lets a runner pool absorb bursts of queued jobs and scale back to near-zero when idle, so you pay for capacity only while it is needed.
