Abstract: We show that the non-perturbative dynamics of $mathcalN=2$ super Yang-Mills theories in a self-dual $Omega$-background and with an arbitrary simple gauge group is fully determined by studying renormalization group equations of vevs of surface operators generating one-form symmetries. The corresponding system of equations is a {it non-autonomous} Toda chain, the time being the RG scale. We obtain new recurrence relations which provide a systematic algorithm computing multi-instanton corrections from the tree-level one-loop prepotential as the asymptotic boundary condition of the RGE. We exemplify by computing the $E_6$ and $G_2$ cases up to two-instantons.
