CronJob

A wrapper for defining Kubernetes CronJob resources within Piceli.

CronJobs in Kubernetes allow you to run jobs on a time-based schedule. These jobs can be anything from a simple maintenance task to a batch job that runs at specific intervals. The CronJob class in Piceli extends the Job class, incorporating scheduling capabilities on top of the standard job configuration.

Properties

• schedule: Defines the schedule on which the job should be run. Uses the CronTab format to specify the timing.

• name, labels, backoff_limit, and pod spec are inherited from the Job class.

Example

from piceli.k8s.templates.auxiliary import crontab
from piceli.k8s.templates.deployable import cronjob

my_cron_job = cronjob.CronJob(
    name="example-cronjob",
    schedule=crontab.CronTab("0 */3 * * *"),  # Every 3 hours
    labels={"app": "myapp"},
    backoff_limit=2,
)

This example defines a CronJob named “example-cronjob” scheduled to run every 3 hours, with a specific set of labels and a backoff limit.
