--autopoolmode
Whether to use Nextflow autopool mode which creates an autoscaling pool for running Nextflow jobs. Defaults to true.
--allowpoolcreation
Allow Nextflow to create a pool for running Nextflow jobs. Defaults to true.
--deletejobs
Allow Nextflow to delete pools after completion. Defaults to true.
--az_worker_pool
