Hi everyone! I was trying to create a job setting the property activeDeadlineSeconds: 30 in order to automatically terminate the job after 30sec but it continues to running anyway. What am I missing from here?

  1 apiVersion: batch/v1
  2 kind: Job
  3 metadata:
  4   creationTimestamp: null
  5   name: myjob
  6 spec:
  7   activeDeadlineSeconds: 30
  8   template:
  9     metadata:
 10       creationTimestamp: null
 11     spec:
 12       containers:
 13       - command:
 14         - /bin/sh
 15         - -c
 16         - while true; do echo hello world; sleep 10; done
 17         image: busybox
 18         name: myjob
 19         resources: {}
 20       restartPolicy: Never
 21 status: {}
~                

If I want to check the job I see is running even after 30sec:

controlplane $ k get jobs.batch -w
NAME    COMPLETIONS   DURATION   AGE
myjob   0/1           4m43s      4m43s

Hi @Alessandro Borraccino
It’s a normal behaviors
If you did kubectl get pods to check the pods generate by the job you can see that it’s terminated and when you check the job describe k describe job myjob you can see the job is failed with reason DeadlineExceeded.
If you need to clean finished job, you need to use ttlSecondsAfterFinished

You can see that after 30s the pod is terminated and after 60s (30 + 30) the job is deleted
