Can a Remote Execution Node launch Pods instead of running ansible-runner ?

Hi,
I’m new to the concept of remote execution node, and I’ve setup my first node a few weeks ago.
I’m designing a concept of a microk8s, or k3s (or actually anything smaller than k8s) tool machine, in order to access, monitor and control a remote environment.
Of course AWX would be in the mix, and thus I have a question. Can I configure the receptor of a remote execution node so it launches pods instead of directly running ansible-runner ?
I saw that receptor has a configuration for kubernetes, in the work-kubernetes stanza, but I don’t know how to use a receptor configured this way via AWX…
I also see that I can create “container groups” in AWX, but I can’t add instances…
I’m struggling to find any documentation about it all.

Any tip ?
