Agent Pools and Agents API
An Agent Pool represents a group of Agents, often related to one another by sharing a common network segment or purpose. A workspace may be configured to use one of the organization's agent pools to run remote operations with isolated, private, or on-premises infrastructure.
Note: Terraform Cloud Agents are a paid feature, available as part of the Terraform Cloud for Business upgrade package. Learn more about Terraform Cloud pricing here.
