Terraform-provider-kubernetes: Feature Request: Job Resource

[nstogner]

If adding a "kubernetes_job" resource is in scope, I might have some time to help implement.

Hi @nstogner
thanks for opening the issue.

I'm curious what benefits are you hoping to get from managing K8S jobs via Terraform? As far as I understand jobs are one-off containers that are gone once they return an exit code, which is likely a workload better suited for a different tool (to Terraform) which isn't stateful?

[nstogner]

You are right. I had a brainfart and was thinking cron functionality was
under Job, however it is under it's own CrobJob resource which is in alpha.

No problem at all.

As mentioned in the Readme, for reasons discussed in https://github.com/terraform-providers/terraform-provider-kubernetes/pull/1#issuecomment-307940033 there are currently no plans on supporting any API that's marked as alpha, beta or generally anything that's not stable/v1.

This may change in the future as we explore ways of dealing with breaking changes on the API's side and reducing the impact on the user.

With that I will close this issue.

Thanks.

Hi
if the job is idempotent, it can be (re)executed as one-time provisioning for things like database initialisation.
Thanks

FWIW, all of this and more is supported with the fork of the default kubernetes provider. I have found the default provider to be so limited that it's mostly broken. See https://github.com/sl1pm4t/terraform-provider-kubernetes
