How does conductor run my tasks?

Follow-up question: Where does my worker run?

Conductor does not run the workers. When a task is scheduled, it is put into the queue maintained by Conductor.

Workers are required to poll for tasks using /tasks/poll API at periodic interval, execute the business logic for the task and report back the results using POST {{ api_prefix }}/tasks API call. Conductor, however will run system tasks on the Conductor server.
