DevOps / Bamboo: Continuous Integration & Deployment Interview Questions
What are jobs in Bamboo?
A job is a collection of tasks that Bamboo schedules and runs on a single build agent as one unit. If a stage contains three jobs, Bamboo will try to run all three at the same time, each on its own agent, as long as agents with matching capabilities are free.
Because a job is bound to one agent, everything inside it — checkout, compile, test — executes on that same machine in sequence. Splitting work into more jobs (rather than more tasks in one job) is how you get real parallelism, for example running the frontend build and backend build as separate jobs in the same stage.
Why would you split work into two separate jobs instead of one job with two tasks?
Within a single job, how do its tasks execute?
