Answer
CronJobs schedule recurring jobs based on cron expressions.
Quick Answer
A CronJob creates Jobs on a cron schedule — runs a task every hour, every night, every Monday. It's Kubernetes' equivalent of a Unix cron job but for containerized tasks. CronJob manages the schedule; the Job manages execution and retries. Useful for database backups, report generation, cache warming, and cleanup tasks.
