Tell when Job is Complete

Since version 1.11, you can do:

kubectl wait --for=condition=complete job/myjob

and you can also set a timeout:

kubectl wait --for=condition=complete --timeout=30s job/myjob

You can visually watch a job's status with this command:

kubectl get jobs myjob -w

The -w option watches for changes. You are looking for the SUCCESSFUL column to show 1.

For waiting in a shell script, I'd use this command:

until kubectl get jobs myjob -o jsonpath='{.status.conditions[? 
    (@.type=="Complete")].status}' | grep True ; do sleep 1 ; done
