In OpenShift 3.1 we introduced the concept of jobs
. A job
will create one or more pods and run them to completion. This is different from a replicationController
, which keeps the pods up and running. A job
will run the pod until the pod finishes the task it was assigned. You can think of a job
as a pod with a restartPolicy
of Never
.
A job
will track the progress of the assigned task and then will update with the status: active, succeeded, or failed.
A few use cases for using a job
:
- Batch Process That need to run at regular intervals
- Distributed processing of very large data sets
- Long running process for system maintanace
Job Object
The configuration of a job
is done by using the "Job" object type. An example would look like this:
apiVersion: extensions/v1beta1
kind: Job
metadata:
name: pi
spec:
selector:
matchLabels:
app: pi
parallelism: 1
completions: 1
template:
metadata:
name: pi
labels:
app: pi
spec:
containers:
- name: pi
image: perl
command: ["perl", "-Mbignum=bpi", "-wle", "print bpi(2000)"]
restartPolicy: Never
A few key points here...
- The
selector
references the label selector and it sets up where thejob
will run parallelism
is an optional parameter for how many pods to run at the same time for the task (defaults tocompletions
)completions
states how many times the pod needs to run successfully in order to be markedsucceeded
(defaults to one if not specified)- The created
template
for the pod the controller.
Creating a Job
We can use this example (which just counts Pi to 2,000 digits) to see how to create a job. I have saved the example as pijob.yaml
and use oc create
to create the job:
$ oc create -f pijob.yaml
job "pi" created
List job status with the oc
command...
$ oc get jobs
JOB CONTAINER(S) IMAGE(S) SELECTOR SUCCESSFUL
pi pi perl app in (pi) 0
If list your pods you should see it in the "pending" state
$ oc get pods
NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE
pi-169h2 0/1 Pending 0 31s
welcome-php-1-be674 1/1 Running 1 7d
welcome-php-2-build 0/1 Completed 0 7d
After the image gets pulled into the node; the status will change to "running"
$ oc get pods
NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE
pi-169h2 1/1 Running 0 7m
welcome-php-1-be674 1/1 Running 1 7d
welcome-php-2-build 0/1 Completed 0 7d
If you are logged into the Web UI; you should see the job appear in the overview page
Once the pod is completed; you can see the status of the job
$ oc get jobs
JOB CONTAINER(S) IMAGE(S) SELECTOR SUCCESSFUL
pi pi perl app in (pi) 1
View the logs to see the output of the job
$ oc logs pi-75ssl

Scaling
You can scale the job after it's creation by using the oc scale
command. This modifies the parallelism
dymanicaly while your job is running according to what you pass to the --replicas
option.
$ oc scale job pi --replicas=3
job "pi" scaled
Summary
In this article we explored the job
object, talked about some use cases, and ran through an example in which we also scaled the job.
