Kubernetes - how to run job only once

Question

I have a job definition based on example from kubernetes website.

apiVersion: batch/v1
kind: Job
metadata:
  name: pi-with-timeout-6
spec:
  activeDeadlineSe         


        

Answer 1

Sadly there is currently no way to prevent the job controller to just respawn new pods when they fail, but the kubernetes community is working on a solution, see:

"Backoff policy and failed pod limit" https://github.com/kubernetes/community/pull/583
