Most work a Pipeline performs is done in the context of one or more declared node steps. Confining the work inside of a node step does two things: Schedules the steps contained within the block to run by adding an item to the Jenkins queue. As soon as an executor is free on a node, the steps will run. Creates a workspace (a directory specific to that particular Pipeline) where work can be done on files checked out from source control.
Originally, the term cadence meant the rate at which a regular event recurs, possibly with variations, but with an overall cycle that repeats. For example, the cadence for team meetings might be Every Monday, with a longer meeting on the last meeting of each month.
In Western musical theory, a cadence (Latin cadentia, a falling) is a melodic or harmonic configuration that creates a sense of resolution [finality or pause].. A harmonic cadence is a progression of (at least) two chords that concludes a phrase, section, or piece of music. A rhythmic cadence is a characteristic rhythmic pattern that indicates the end of a phrase.
