A runner scale set is a group of self-hosted runners that autoscales based on workflow demand. Here's how it works:
1. **Registration**: You create a scale set with a name, which also serves as the label workflows use to target it (e.g., `runs-on: my-scale-set`). Like regular self-hosted runners, scale sets can be registered at the repository, organization, or enterprise level.
1. **Registration**: You create a scale set with a name, which also serves as the label workflows use to target it (e.g., `runs-on: my-scale-set`). Multiple labels can be assigned per scale set. Like regular self-hosted runners, scale sets can be registered at the repository, organization, or enterprise level.
2. **Polling**: Your scale set client continuously polls the API, reporting its maximum capacity (how many runners it can produce).
3. **Job matching**: GitHub matches jobs to your scale set based on the label and runner group policies, just like regular self-hosted runners.
4. **Scaling signal**: The API responds with how many runners your scale set needs online (`statistics.TotalAssignedJobs`).
