Pod - CI/CD Glossary Definition

A pod is the smallest schedulable unit in Kubernetes - one or more containers that share an IP, network namespace, and volumes, and are always co-located on a single node.

In CI

Ephemeral runners on Kubernetes are usually one pod per job, created fresh and deleted after, giving clean isolated builds.
