Support for jobs?

[LoungeFlyZ]

Is there a recommended or supported way to schedule job containers? I want to run a one-time job container periodically. Manually triggered at this stage.

I also asked for this or similar: #65 The concept in KEDA is called Scaled Jobs.

Hi. We are looking into Jobs workloads model and will update on our plans to add it.

@torosent Do you consider exposing Job and CronJob

I'm speaking about 1st class Kubernetes resources

• https://kubernetes.io/docs/reference/kubernetes-api/workload-resources/job-v1/
• https://kubernetes.io/docs/reference/kubernetes-api/workload-resources/cron-job-v1/

Although recurring jobs can be achieved using KEDA (a combination of AzFunction timer trigger with a message queue), I would highly recommend exposing native CronJob. This would allow customers to get rid of additional (unnecessary) cloud infrastructure.

We are investigating this feature for implementation

I would be also interested in this. I have a simple NodeJS based process that runs in a cron job.

@kendallroden Is it possible to configure container app to be "always up"?

@kendallroden Kendall Roden FTE Is it possible to configure container app to be "always up"?

You can just configure it with min replicas of 1

[Masahigo]

I guess it's called idle container app :)
