Question
I'm looking for a way to tell (from within a script) when a Kubernetes Job has completed. I want to then get the logs out of the containers and perform cleanup.
What would be a good way to do this? Would the best way be to run kubectl describe job <job_name> and grep for 1 Succeeded or something of the sort?
Answer
Since version 1.11, you can do:
kubectl wait --for=condition=complete job/myjob
and you can also set a timeout:
kubectl wait --for=condition=complete --timeout=30s job/myjob
