mediumJobs & CronJobsFix

Job Failed

The nightly data processing job has been failing for the past week. It starts, runs for a while, then suddenly disappears.

15 min
Initial Situation

A CronJob that processes data every night has been consistently failing. Looking at the Job status, you see it has failed multiple times. The pod runs for about 30 seconds, then gets terminated. kubectl describe job shows "DeadlineExceeded" in the events. The data processing script itself takes about 60 seconds to complete.
