A CronJob is a variant of a you can schedule to run at periodic intervals.
See the Kubernetes documentation for more information.
In the DuploCloud Portal, navigate to Kubernetes -> CronJob.
Click Add. The Add Kubernetes CronJob page displays.
In the Basic Options step, specify the Kubernetes CronJob name.
In the Schedule field, specify the Cron Schedule in Cron Format. Click the Info Tip icon for examples. When specifying a Schedule in Cron Format, ensure you separate each value with a space. For example, 0 0 * * 0 is a valid Cron Format input; 00**0 is not. See the for detailed information about Cron Format.
In the Container - 1 area, specify the Container Name and associated Docker Image.
In the Command field, specify the command attributes for Container - 1. Click the Info Tip icon for examples. Select and copy commands as needed.
In the Init Container - 1 area, specify the Container Name and associated Docker Image.
Click Next to open the Advanced Configuration step.
Click Create. The Kubernetes CronJob is created and displayed on the CronJob page. It will run according to the schedule you specified.
You can manage/override Kubernetes Jobs faults on a Tenant or CronJob level. If a CronJob fails, and no Tenant- or Job-level fault setting is configured, DuploCloud will generate a fault by default.
Enable or disable faults for failed Kubernetes CronJobs in a specific Tenant.
From the DuploCloud Portal, navigate to Administrator -> Tenant.
Click the Tenant name in the NAME column.
Select the Settings tab, and click Add. The Add Tenant Feature pane displays.
From the Select Feature list box, select Enable K8s job fault logging by default, and use the toggle switch to enable or disable the setting.
Click Add. The CronJobs fault setting is added.
You can view the CronJobs fault setting on the Tenants page (Navigate to Administrator -> Tenant, select the Tenant name) under the Settings tab. If the value is true, DuploCloud will generate a fault. If the value is false, DuploCloud will not generate a fault.
You can configure the faults for a specific CronJob when creating the CronJob in DuploCloud. Fault settings added this way override Tenant-level settings. On the Add Kubernetes Job page, in the Metadata Annotations field, enter:
duplocloud.net/fault/when-failed: true. or
duplocloud.net/fault/when-failed: false.
When the value is true and the CronJob fails, DuploCloud will generate a fault. When the value is false and the CronJob fails, a fault will not be generated.
In the DuploCloud Portal, navigate to Kubernetes -> CronJobs.
Select the Kubernetes CronJob you want to view and click the Overview, Schedule, and Details tabs for more information about the CronJob schedule and history.
You can view Kubernetes CronJobs linked to containers by clicking the container name on the Containers page (Kubernetes -> Containers).
You can filter container names by using the search field at the top of the page, as in this example:
In the DuploCloud Portal, navigate to Kubernetes -> CronJob.
Select the Kubernetes CronJob you want to edit.
You can edit and modify the following fields in the DuploCloud Portal:
Cleanup After Finished in Seconds
Other Spec Configuration
Metadata Annotations
Labels
In the DuploCloud Portal, navigate to Kubernetes -> CronJob.
Select the Kubernetes CronJob you want to delete.
DuploCloud supports running Kubernetes CronJobs on Shared Hosts in both AWS and Azure.
To run the Kubernetes CronJob to completion, you must specify a Kubernetes . Click the Add Container button and select the Add Init Container option. The Init Container - 1 area displays.
In the Other Spec Configuration field, specify the Kubernetes CronJob spec (in YAML) for Init Container - 1. Click the Info Tip icon ( ) for examples. Select and copy commands as needed
You can also view details of a Kubernetes CronJob by clicking on the menu icon ( ) icon to the left of the job name and selecting View.
Click the options menu ( ) icon to the left of the Kubernetes CronJob name and select Edit.
Click the Options Menu () icon to the left of the Kubernetes CronJob name and select Delete.
