why do cloud build private pools have a long queue time
05:24 20 Sep 2021

I have set up a private worker pool and I had expected that the queued time for a build would go down. Previously queue time (when only one build is queued) was about 1 minute. I had assumed because I was using shared machines inside GCP to do the build. I therefore expected that a private worker pool would have no queue since I would be the only one building anything. I was surprised to see it took about 1 minute also. I then thought that perhaps the first build would have to spin up a VM and that's why it took so long so I carried out a second build after the first had finished but that also had a queue time of about 1 minute. I don't understand what is going on, 1 minute is quite a long time.
