# Operating a Job
|

The general flow for operating a job in Nomad is:
|
|
|
|
|
|
2016-10-28 00:36:26 +00:00
|
|
|
1. Author the job file according to the [job specification](/docs/job-specification/index.html)
|

|
|
|
1. Plan and review the changes with a Nomad server
|
|
|
|
|
1. Submit the job file to a Nomad server
|
|
|
|
|
1. (Optional) Review job status and logs

When updating a job, there are a number of built-in update strategies which may
|
|
|
|
|
be defined in the job file. The general flow for updating an existing job in
|
|
|
|
|
Nomad is:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. Modify the existing job file with the desired changes
|
|
|
|
|
1. Plan and review the changes with a Nomad server
|
|
|
|
|
1. Submit the job file to a Nomad server
|
|
|
|
|
1. (Optional) Review job status and logs
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Because the job file defines the update strategy (blue-green, rolling updates,
|
|
|
|
|
etc.), the workflow remains the same regardless of whether this is an initial
|
|
|
|
|
deployment or a long-running job.
