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.

Very good point! I was so focused on building and eager to share the codebase that I ended up cutting corners on the documentation

I did describe some of the details in this post: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/forge-scalable-secure-multi-t...

Fortunately, I’m working on proper documentation this week — it's finally getting the attention it deserves.

Thanks for the nudge!

The link to examples also leads to nowhere: https://cisco-open.github.io/forge/examples.

My bad, I forgot adding index.md
