Pool

Preview

This feature is in Public Preview.

To reduce cluster start time, you can attach a cluster to a predefined pool of idle instances. When attached to a pool, a cluster allocates its driver and worker nodes from the pool. If the pool does not have sufficient idle resources to accommodate the cluster’s request, the pool expands by allocating new instances from the instance provider. When an attached cluster is terminated, the instances it used are returned to the pool and can be reused by a different cluster.
