Jobs

A Job is a special object used to run parallel tasks or tasks that must run only once. A Job starts and monitors tasks and can retry them after errors or failures.

On the Jobs tab you can create, delete, and view jobs.

The Pod selector block shows matching pod labels. Note! Label selectors use logical AND. The selected object must have all specified labels.
