About Pools

- Pools determine which agents execute specific playbook actions.
- Agents can belong to multiple pools; pools can contain multiple agents.

Examples

- Assign agents in different networks to separate pools for resource isolation.
- Assign agents across zones to the same pool for high availability.

Assigning a Pool in a Playbook Action

1. In your playbook action, click **Show advanced settings**.
2. The default is $default. Use the dropdown to select your desired pool.
3. Save your action.

**Important:** Transformation and Python actions do not function with remote agents.
