Identity
A Job reference distinguishes one workload from every other workload.
Durable workload identity and orchestration state.
Execution Jobs identify individual workloads. Workflow Runs coordinate how those workloads move through execution. They are related records with different responsibilities.
The Job is the durable record of one workload.
State
The Job exposes its current lifecycle status.
Relationships
The Job can reference its Workflow Run and assigned node.
Outcome
Terminal state connects the Job with a result or failure.
The Workflow Run describes orchestration around the Job.
Workflow Runs coordinate lifecycle progression, routing context, assignment progression, failure handling, and retry behavior without replacing the identity of the original Job.
