Warm Pools

Warm pools let you pre-start a fixed number of containers for a specific application + region combination, so they are immediately available when a player requests one.

Table columns

Column	Description
Application	Name of the application.
Region	Target region.
Desired Size	How many warm containers to keep running.
Enabled	Whether the warm pool is active.

   • Enabled — Toggle on/off.
   • Environment Variables (optional) — Key-value pairs injected into warm containers.
