Explanation

A CronJob is a Kubernetes resource that schedules Jobs using standard Unix cron syntax (e.g., '0 2 * * *' to run daily at 2 AM). It can trigger one-time runs at a specific date/time or recurring runs on any schedule expressible in cron format. The controller creates a new Job object each time the schedule fires. A plain Job (A) runs once and to completion with no scheduling capability. CalendarJob (B) and BatchJob (C) are not standard Kubernetes resource types - they are distractors. CronJob is the canonical Kubernetes primitive for time-based or repeating task automation.
