A Kubernetes Job is a controller object that represents a finite task. Jobs differ from other controller objects in that Jobs manage a task as it runs to completion, rather than managing a desired state such as in Deployments, ReplicaSets, and StatefulSets do. When a specified number of successful completions is reached, the Job is complete. Kubernetes Jobs are used when you want to create pods that will do a specific task and then exit.
