     9  # Operating a Job
    10  
    11  The general flow for operating a job in Nomad is:
    12  
    13  1. Author the job file according to the [job specification](/docs/job-specification/index.html)
    14  1. Plan and review the changes with a Nomad server
    15  1. Submit the job file to a Nomad server
    16  1. (Optional) Review job status and logs
    17  
    18  When updating a job, there are a number of built-in update strategies which may
    19  be defined in the job file. The general flow for updating an existing job in
    20  Nomad is:
    21  
    22  1. Modify the existing job file with the desired changes
    23  1. Plan and review the changes with a Nomad server
    24  1. Submit the job file to a Nomad server
    25  1. (Optional) Review job status and logs
    26  
    27  Because the job file defines the update strategy (blue-green, rolling updates,
    28  etc.), the workflow remains the same regardless of whether this is an initial
    29  deployment or a long-running job.
