 A trigger tells a Pipeline to run.

 A pipeline is made up of one or more stages. A pipeline can deploy to one or more environments
.
 A stage is a way of organizing jobs in a pipeline and each stage can have one or more jobs.
 Each job runs on one agent. A job can also be agentless.
 Each agent runs a job that contains one or more steps.
 A step can be a task or script and is the smallest building block of a pipeline.
 A task is a pre-packaged script that performs an action, such as invoking a REST API or publishing
a build artifact.
 An artifact is a collection of files or packages published by a run.
