Description: Manual jobs in continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipelines refer to a stage that requires human intervention to proceed. This type of job is used in situations where a review or approval is needed before the process continues, allowing development teams to have more precise control over the workflow. Manual jobs are particularly useful in environments where quality and validation are critical, such as in software production. By implementing a manual job, developers can ensure that certain criteria or standards are met before moving on to the next phase of the pipeline. This not only improves the quality of the final product but also minimizes the risk of errors that could arise from an unattended automatic deployment. In CI/CD, manual jobs can be easily configured in the pipeline configuration file, where it can be specified when and how manual intervention should occur, allowing for great flexibility in managing workflows.
