A Cloud Run job consists of one or more tasks. The maximum retries
setting specifies the number of times a task is allowed to restart in case of
failure before being failed permanently. The default is
3.
This setting applies per-task, not per-job. If you set this to 0, tasks only run
once and are not retried on failure.
