How can I start a job automatically after a successful deployment in kubernetes? - kubernetes

Question

I have a deployment .yaml file that basically create a pod with mariadb, as follows
apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
name: {{ .Release.Name }}-pod
spec:
replicas: 1
selector:
matchLabels:
pod: {{ .Release.Name }}-pod
strategy:
type: Recreate
template:
metadata:
labels:
pod: {{ .Release.Name }}-pod
spec:
containers:
- env:
- name: MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD
value: {{ .Values.db.password }}
image: {{ .Values.image.repository }}
name: {{ .Release.Name }}
ports:
- containerPort: 3306
resources:
requests:
memory: 2048Mi
cpu: 0.5
limits:
memory: 4096Mi
cpu: 1
volumeMounts:
- mountPath: /var/lib/mysql
name: dbsvr-claim
- mountPath: /etc/mysql/conf.d/my.cnf
name: conf
subPath: my.cnf
- mountPath: /docker-entrypoint-initdb.d/init.sql
name: conf
subPath: init.sql
restartPolicy: Always
volumes:
- name: dbsvr-claim
persistentVolumeClaim:
claimName: {{ .Release.Name }}-claim
- name: conf
configMap:
name: {{ .Release.Name }}-configmap
status: {}
Upon success on
helm install abc ./abc/ -f values.yaml
I have a job that generates a mysqldump backup file and it completes successfully (just showing the relevant code)
apiVersion: batch/v1
kind: Job
metadata:
name: {{ .Release.Name }}-job
spec:
template:
metadata:
name: {{ .Release.Name }}-job
spec:
containers:
- name: {{ .Release.Name }}-dbload
image: {{ .Values.image.repositoryRoot }}/{{.Values.image.imageName}}
command: ["/bin/sh", "-c"]
args:
- mysqldump -p$(PWD) -h{{.Values.db.source}} -u$(USER) --databases xyz > $(FILE);
echo "done!";
imagePullPolicy: Always
# Do not restart containers after they exit
restartPolicy: Never
So, here's my question. Is there a way to automatically start the job after the helm install abc ./ -f values.yaml finishes with success?

Answer 1

you can use kubectl wait -h command to execute job when the condition=Ready for the deployment.
Here the article wait-for-condition demonstrate quite similar situation
