Monitoring a kubernetes job

<kube master>/apis/batch/v1/namespaces/default/jobs 

endpoint lists status of the jobs. I have parsed this json and retrieved the name of the latest running job that starts with "deploy...".

Then we can hit

<kube master>/apis/batch/v1/namespaces/default/jobs/<job name retrieved above>

And monitor the status field value which is as below when the job succeeds

"status": {
    "conditions": [
      {
        "type": "Complete",
        "status": "True",
        "lastProbeTime": "2016-09-22T13:59:03Z",
        "lastTransitionTime": "2016-09-22T13:59:03Z"
      }
    ],
    "startTime": "2016-09-22T13:56:42Z",
    "completionTime": "2016-09-22T13:59:03Z",
    "succeeded": 1
  }

So we keep polling this endpoint till it completes. Hope this helps someone.

$ kubectl wait --for=condition=complete --timeout=600s job/myjob
