Workflows

A workflow is a set of tasks that are executed in a specific order. The tasks can be executed in parallel or sequentially. Workflows can be used to automate the deployment of applications. For example, deploying a web application requires deploying multiple services in a specific order. You can create a workflow to automate the deployment of the web application.
