To do so set `.spec.backoffLimit` to specify the number of retries before considering a Job as failed.
The back-off limit is set by default to 6. Failed Pods associated with the Job are recreated by the Job controller with an exponential back-off delay (10s, 20s, 40s ...) capped at six minutes, The back-off limit is reset if no new failed Pods appear before the Job's next status check.
