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.
Cadence refers to the rhythmic or musical elements of a poem. You can think of it as the thing that makes poetry sound like poetry. Whereas meter refers to the regular elements of rhythmâthe beats, accents, and feetâcadence refers to the momentary variations in rhythm, like when a line speeds up or slows down. Poets often repeat or contrast certain cadences to create a more interesting sound than regular old prose.
