How can I trigger a Kubernetes Scheduled Job manually?

Question

I\'ve created a Kubernetes Scheduled Job, which runs twice a day according to its schedule. However, I would like to trigger it manually for testing purposes. How can I do t

Answer 1

You can create a simple job based on your ScheduledJob. If you already run a ScheduledJob, there are jobs in history.

kubectl get jobs

NAME               DESIRED   SUCCESSFUL   AGE
hello-1477281595   1         1            11m
hello-1553106750   1         1            12m
hello-1553237822   1         1            9m

Export one of these jobs:

kubectl get job hello-1477281595 -o yaml > my_job.yaml

Then edit the yaml a little bit, erasing some unnecessary fields and run it manually:

kubectl create -f my_job.yaml
kubectl delete -f my_job.yaml
