Yup fully isolated (as the executor) but won't be reused by other builds. BUT if you job run on other nodes you will consume a lot of spaces for nothing. Perso I would recommend using the Local to the Executor (prevent concurrent access and save disk space) (I'd like to disable the Local to the workspace for our instances @asf) > > Thanks for clarifying.
