Ad hoc jobs question
Hello everyone,
I was hoping to ask the experienced DevOps Engineers here for some help with the concept of ad-hoc jobs. I have read that "AWS CodePipeline and GitHub Actions do not cater for ad hoc jobs. AWS CodePipeline needs a trigger, and then runs a static pipeline. GitHub Actions is listening to git events. "
Our team is leaning towards using GitHub Actions and I am trying to determine if GitHub Actions not catering for ad-hoc jobs is something that we should seriously consider. However, I am not sure I understand clearly the concept of ad-hoc jobs. Could someone clarify what these ad-hoc jobs are, and what do they actually do? Is it a big downside that GitHub Actions do not cater for them? Any help will be much appreciated.
