<p>In a K8S cluster when a Job has multiple pods under it, are these all replicas?
Can a Job have 5 pods running under it and each of the pod is basically a different task?</p>

<p>Yes, there is a provision for running multiple pods under a job either sequentially or in parallel. In the spec section of a Job, you can mention completions and it will be equivalent to the number of pods to be run sequentially.</p>
<p>And if you want to run them in parallel, similarly you can define parallelism and assign some value to this key in the spec part of Job yaml.</p>
<p>The former will take care of pods to complete execution successfully and later will define the limit of pods those can run in parallel.</p>
