Pools

Pools can be used to group a set of similar fixed systems together, so they can be treated as a single Workspace for user access. Users will see a single Workspace icon on their dashboard, but their session will get distributed to an available server in the pool. Each server in the pool can be set to support 1 or more concurrent sessions. Kasm automatically distributes the sessions evenly over the servers.

Pools can also be used to auto scale servers using a supported VM provider. Auto scaling can be used to automatically provision Servers or Docker Agents.

Note

AutoScaling is available in the Community and Enterprise editions only. If applicable, the administrator will have 3 links underneath the table for All AutoScale Configs, All VM Provider Configs and All DNS Provider Configs. These allow the administrator to see all of the configs available and make changes, but the recommended approach is to use the Edit option on a specific pool.
