MyCronJob

Sample .NET cron job application for Kubernetes

Getting started

In the steps below, and in the kube.yml files in this solution, replace my-registry-host with the name of your container registry/docker repository

1. cd into the solution root
2. Build the docker image

docker build . -f ./MyCronJob/Dockerfile -t my-registry-host/mycronjob:latest

3. Push the docker image to your repository

docker push my-registry-host/mycronjob:latest

4. Install kubectl if you haven't already, then ensure you are connected to the kubernetes cluster

# Use the context to select the kubernetes cluster
# Replace context-name with the name of your kubernetes context
kubectl config use-context context-name

# Check that you can view the pods
kubectl get pods

5. Create the cron job in Kubernetes

Job 1:

kubectl create -f ./MyCronJob/Job1/kube.yml

Job 2:

kubectl create -f ./MyCronJob/Job2/kube.yml

6. When a job runs, a pod will be created. This will run the relevant background service to completion/failure and then stop the application.
