💖 KUBERNETES(1)(kubernetes) — the kubectl create cronjob page, but make it make sense 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the manual page for kubectl create cronjob, living in section 1 of the kubernetes manual. Original was written by Eric Paris back in Jan 2015, and we're gonna give it the glow-up it deserves ✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

kubectl create cronjob — make a cron job with the name you picked, no cap 👑

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

kubectl create cronjob [OPTIONS]

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Create a cron job with the specified name. That's the whole vibe. You give it a name, you give it a schedule, you give it an image, and boom — a CronJob exists now 💅

---

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

• --allow-missing-template-keys=true — If true, ignore any errors in templates when a field or map key is missing in the template. Only applies to golang and jsonpath output formats.
• --dry-run="none" — Must be "none", "server", or "client". If client strategy, only print the object that would be sent, without sending it. If server strategy, submit server-side request without persisting the resource.
• --field-manager="kubectl-create" — Name of the manager used to track field ownership.
• --image="" — Image name to run.
• -o, --output="" — Output format. One of: (json, yaml, kyaml, name, go-template, go-template-file, template, templatefile, jsonpath, jsonpath-as-json, jsonpath-file).
• --restart="" — job's restart policy. supported values: OnFailure, Never
• --save-config=false — If true, the configuration of current object will be saved in its annotation. Otherwise, the annotation will be unchanged. This flag is useful when you want to perform kubectl apply on this object in the future.
• --schedule="" — A schedule in the Cron format the job should be run with.
• --show-managed-fields=false — If true, keep the managedFields when printing objects in JSON or YAML format.
• --template="" — Template string or path to template file to use when -o=go-template, -o=go-template-file. The template format is golang templates [http://golang.org/pkg/text/template/#pkg-overview](http://golang.org/pkg/text/template/#pkg-overview).
• --validate="strict" — Must be one of: strict (or true), warn, ignore (or false). "true" or "strict" will use a schema to validate the input and fail the request if invalid. It will perform server side validation if ServerSideFieldValidation is enabled on the api-server, but will fall back to less reliable client-side validation if not. "warn" will warn about unknown or duplicate fields without blocking the request if server-side field validation is enabled on the API server, and behave as "ignore" otherwise. "false" or "ignore" will not perform any schema validation, silently dropping any unknown or duplicate fields.

👑 OPTIONS INHERITED FROM PARENT COMMANDS 👑

these are the family heirlooms, passed down from the parent commands 🫶

• --as="" — Username to impersonate for the operation. User could be a regular user or a service account in a namespace.
• --as-group=[] — Group to impersonate for the operation, this flag can be repeated to specify multiple groups.
• --as-uid="" — UID to impersonate for the operation.
• --as-user-extra=[] — User extras to impersonate for the operation, this flag can be repeated to specify multiple values for the same key.
• --cache-dir="/home/username/.kube/cache" — Default cache directory
• --certificate-authority="" — Path to a cert file for the certificate authority
• --client-certificate="" — Path to a client certificate file for TLS
• --client-key="" — Path to a client key file for TLS
• --cluster="" — The name of the kubeconfig cluster to use
• --context="" — The name of the kubeconfig context to use
• --disable-compression=false — If true, opt-out of response compression for all requests to the server
• --insecure-skip-tls-verify=false — If true, the server's certificate will not be checked for validity. This will make your HTTPS connections insecure
• --kubeconfig="" — Path to the kubeconfig file to use for CLI requests.
• --kuberc="" — Path to the kuberc file to use for preferences. This can be disabled by exporting KUBECTL_KUBERC=false feature gate or turning off the feature KUBERC=off.
• --match-server-version=false — Require server version to match client version
• -n, --namespace="" — If present, the namespace scope for this CLI request
• --password="" — Password for basic authentication to the API server
• --profile="none" — Name of profile to capture. One of (none|cpu|heap|goroutine|threadcreate|block|mutex|trace)
• --profile-output="profile.pprof" — Name of the file to write the profile to
• --proxy-url="" — Proxy URL to use for requests to the API server
• --request-timeout="0" — The length of time to wait before giving up on a single server request. Non-zero values should contain a corresponding time unit (e.g. 1s, 2m, 3h). A value of zero means don't timeout requests.
• -s, --server="" — The address and port of the Kubernetes API server
• --tls-server-name="" — Server name to use for server certificate validation. If it is not provided, the hostname used to contact the server is used
• --token="" — Bearer token for authentication to the API server
• --user="" — The name of the kubeconfig user to use
• --username="" — Username for basic authentication to the API server
• --version=false — --version, --version=raw prints version information and quits; --version=vX.Y.Z... sets the reported version
• --warnings-as-errors=false — Treat warnings received from the server as errors and exit with a non-zero exit code

⚠️ bestie, watch that --insecure-skip-tls-verify one. If you flip it to true, the server's certificate will not be checked for validity, and your HTTPS connections become insecure. That's not a vibe, that's a vulnerability 💀
